I have a short hair cat that keeps getting fur balls. Will this help?

I don't have a cat; however, this works fantastic on my dogs. it removes a lot of undercoat, the shedding is significantly less, and I think they were cooler last summer because of it. And they look better between brushings. I would THINK that having less undercoat would logically translate to less furballs - but even if it did not solve this problem, you would be happy in other ways with this product.

For a short haired cat, I'd just comb them more. This cuts coat and I don't think that's what you really want.

No, my cat did great with this product. She is a domestic short-hair and she wore it for two months.

Does she have long hair? I would be concerned that it might hurt a little and scare her. All I know is I got it for my long haired himalayan kitty and she always tries to get away when I comb her. I am going to try the ShedMonster one instead. I really think it might work better for me. I wouldn't recommend it.

I have 3 short haired cats and I find it works fine in removing hair from carpets, just adjust the setting on the carpet attachment. If you have berber style rugs will be tougher, due to loop style of rug, but on regular rugs works fine. For the cat hair on furniture use the furniture attachment, which does not have a beater roll in the attachment, just a brush so it takes longer.

I suggest you get the same one I purchased. Small/Short hair. It's not too wide and it's not intimidating to the kitty.

I have only used it for my cat. One side of the comb is for short hair and the other side is for longer hair. The product is so reasonable I would try it...

If the cat's hair is 2 inches or less buy the "short hair" version. If it's longer than 2 inches buy the "long hair" version. For both the short and long hair versions I would recommend just buying the "large" version, unless your cat is very small. I have both the small and large; the large is the only one we really use (btw, the large short hair version also works wonders on our dog!).

Definitely!! I constantly keep grass for my cat. She loves it! Years ago, before I started keeping fresh grass for her, she threw up a lot and had a lot more hairballs. Keeping fresh grass for her 24/7 cut her hairballs and getting sick in half! Of course, she still gets hairballs and gets sick occasionally and everytime she goes straight to her grass and it makes her stomach feel better. I buy a bag of seeds and plant it in organic soil. Hope this helps you and your furries:)

Yes - in short. We use this on our Siamese, which has medium/short hair, and sheds like crazy. Works very well, even though, I would imagine, it would work even better on longer hair. The bristles are not too firm or long for short hair, and would be best suited for removing excess fur. The only thing I would suggest on very short haired cats is too be gentle with the brush. The bristles are not coated or tipped, so could scratch with firm use.I love this product, and my cat loves it too.

the Furminator works best on long-haired cats...just don't pull too hard as it pulls the skin.

It works on cats. Removes mats and shortens hair. I have used this on my long hair cat. I use on my hair - I have not use on my dog yet, that is next!

I don't know. It works on my cats short and long hair. I comb the cats with long hair first to get the tangles out then I use the flea comb. I think it is great and my cats love it.

It should work for this, I have cats and I do see cat hair in my lint trap.

Both of my cats are bengals, so they have short hair. The friend who originally recommended this has a medium-haired kitty and it definitely worked on his too. Don't know about long hair.

I can't speak to the long hair - I have British Shorthairs - but for the most part it does work with clumping litter. I say for the most part because every once in a while "someone" - i.e., the little boy - will get a bit over excited about pawing the litter and if his paw gets wet the litter will hang around until he has moved beyond the mat and litter box. I would say this happens once ever couple of months, so it doesn't impact my overall satisfaction with the mat.Hope this helps!

I don't think this would be the best choice to for your cat, although I imagine you could use it. There are tools better adapted for deshedding cats, I think. Furminator or Furblaster might do better. They're both available at Amazon. I did a quick search for furminator cats and got a variety of tools that would work for you. Good luck.

It should help but in my case, my cat kept trying to scratch around his neck with his rear legs and his claws eventually (a couple of days) punctured the bladder.
