Persia got Furminated!
Wow! Persia has always been a very soft kitty but she feels even more like
a bunny than she did before She wasn't quite sure what I was doing when I used it on her since it isn't a brush. But she didn't put up a fuss. It really did take off a lot of excess fur and I only gave her a light "once over". Now she feels softer than ever and I don't have fur wafting up my nose when she sits in my lap. Cool! What a neat grooming tool. Jill |

Jill I'm glad she liked it. Frank loves it too, the others not so much. Like someone mentioned before, it does have a blade that cuts the hair. That may be why she feels so soft, she got the coarse ready-to-be shed hair off and you're feeling that wonderful angora-like underfur. Bosley/Boots/Kitten are shorthairs and traditional slicker brushes don't seem to do much good. I need to get out and get another zoom groom for those three. Sherry |

I actually don't think it cuts fur - when I first got mine, I took a close look at the mechanism, looked up the patent, and also tested whether it's capable of cutting things in a blade-type action, on materials such as hair, fur, and paper. It couldn't. From my observation, what it does is grab hold of fur in its V-shaped grooves, like a claw hammer grabbing a nail, and yanks the fur out if it's loose enough. |

Furminating is a personal choice, or so it seems. Frank loves it. Biskit pretty much only lets me Furminate her head. Bosley stands for a little of it before he bites me. Kitten won't stand still for anything. I don't know about Boots. She is Daddy's girl of course, and he'd have to do it. Sherry |

They comment at the vets office all the time about how bunny-like her fur is. But now it feels even moreso. Yep, I'm liking this de-shedding tool a lot I'm sure my furniture and vacuum cleaner will like it, too. Jill |

It didn't cost much. I got them (new) on Amazon for $10 each. I got one
for my neighbor. She's mentioned she has to literally vacuum her bed every morning due to how much Schwartzie and Fedders shed. It took off a lot of excess fur! I'm happy with the product.

Jill Cat fur varies a lot, even though Snoopy and Rosie were from the same litter Rosie's fur was always much softer than Snoopy's. I often wondered if the had different fathers. -- Adrian (Owned by Bagheera & Shadow) Cats leave pawprints on your heart http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk |
