i have bought the furminator cat comb, has anyone ever used this?

Yes, I have 2 ( evidently my husband didn't recall buying both!). I don't use them since it takes out the undercoat. I show my cats and even the ones I dont I want to look fluffy.

I love mine and use it all the time....helps alot with shedding....and the vacumn

I have one and it really takes off the fur. My problem is that I bought the most narrow one thinking I'd just do around his face. I wish I had the larger one. Dakota isn't fond of it for some reason but let's me use it.

Glad I found your post here.

This may sound naive, but I comb (uneven teeth) Sasha twice daily and find only slightly matted parts are under the belly and front legs which I comb out and sometimes clip (1/2" at most) if he gets too fussy about the tugging. I remove about a thumb's length and thickness of fur each time.

I was considering buying the large Furminator, but I don't think it necessary to remove the undercoat (definitely not a show cat, but my champion, anyway). I assume it's there for a reason and compare it to down on a duck. Opinion?

Would you suggest it for use on non-show cats? He's never coughed up a hairball and only during the spring shed do I find any in his stool. His biggest hair problem is finding MY hair (down to my waist) occasionally in his stool. I meticulously pick up my hair, but every now and then, I obviously miss one and that bothers me more than his fur as it is so darn long.

I bought one when we were having the grooming problems... but, it is still in the package..???

I am able to comb both the KING and the Hellion and off they go... smile Its a happy Mommy!!!!

Now, if I could just figure out how to keep Wed Wed DRY????

hmm.. i feel that it is not as great as advertised..

in myjoey's case, it was the top coat that is removed, not the mats in the undercoat

Yes....I use the pink kitten one. I use the comb part. It works fine. He hates it. hahaha

You never use a furminator on a matted coat. Always comb all tangles and matts out first. The package mine came in plainly states that.
If you comb Sasha that often I really don't see the need for it - unless you just want a less fluffy cat.

Wow this was my post ages ago, I forgot I bought the furminator willows doing great with the greyhound comb so don't think I will use the furminator now!
