Thank You For The Idea.

I need to bump up this thread.
I've have been reading about the Furminator for years both on the net in here. I struggled with the cost and kept using the comb for Max and Speckles.

Now that I have Merlin, my place looks like a fur factory. It's really bad so I sucked it up, stopped by my local store on the way home from work last night and laid down $45 for a furminator.

I drove home in buyer's remorse. What have I done? Oh heck, if I can spend $60 on a cat bed, I can certainly justify this amount.

OMdoG - I cannot begin to express my love of this product. 10 strokes produced enough hair to form into a baseball. Merlin wasn't too impressed as he doesn't like being brushed but honestly this thing is amazing.

If you don't have one - save up and buy one. I'll never do without one now.

I wish I had known you wanted one. I've got an extra one b/c it came w/a purchase. They certainly aren't that expensive here. I think I paid something like $14.95 for mine. Grooming Specs has become so much easier w/the Furminator. He sheds and you can see fur flying as he walks through a room. It's been a godsend for me.

Smudge doesn't like it - he prefers a plain human-style comb. But Jezebel, for whom I sit sometimes, is double-coated AND overweight AND arthritic AND has dry skin and tons of dandruff, and she LOVES it when I Furminate her HARD behind the ears where she can't reach. She purrs and purrs and sheds and sheds!

She does get Cosequin, mixed into her food, but I couldn't get her to even try fish oil - not even squirted on Kitty Kaviar. She's a strange beastie...

Love, Columbine

Franklin loooves to be furminated! Who wudda thunk a short-hair kitty could have so much fur?
Chelsea isn't so keen on the process but she hardly sheds so it doesn't really make any difference.
I get so much fluff it makes me want to try my hand at spinning yarn!

Bamboo's knock off - The FurBuster - works just as well for half the price. We opened up one of each for demo purposes at the store I used to work in and believe me, we sold WAY more FurBusters than name brand brushes.

I have one, and my only caution is not to go overboard...the first time I used it on Sherpa, I brushed out almost ALL of his undercoat. He sat and seemed to enjoy the whole thing, but afterward I realized that I could see his skin! Silly boy.

I still use mine and it works very well. I've noticed that many pet stores now sell it in their stores for a lot less than I paid for it online. I could brush Storm all day and still not get all of his dead undercoat off. My other cats are too wiggly to stand still for very long but I still manage to get a lot of fur off of them. Good luck with Merlin.
