I am not sure where to post this....so Mods move it if you like!

Cats shed! Duh! Someone about 3 months ago recommended to me to buy a rubber curry comb...I brush Bosco once a week with it!
AMAZING! Better that any cat comb or brush you will find anywhere!

Seriously, try it...I bought it at a farm store and it was under $2.00!
I think every cat owner should have one!
I am not sure how it would work on long hair cats....but for less than
$2.00, I would try!

Sorry...for thsoe of you who do not know what a curry comb is....

They are used to brush horses, they come in plastic and rubber!
Gotta get the rubber one!

Does this untangle the hair too or just gets all the dead hairs and massages them? I will probably still try it. :wink:

 

[BoscosMum]

It is more like a dead hair magnet and massage!
Bosco is a short hair cat....he LOVES this....he literally
comes running when he sees me with it in my hand!

Isn't it similar with the love glove? If it is I have one and it does work very good on short haired Frosty. When I have to comb Bart or Cheerio - the little brush with twirly teeth works best for them - they are long-haired kitties.
This is also what Dr. Jean recommended

fine-toothed comb for shorthairs or one of those "twirly-teeth" combs for long-hairs.

I use the love- glove at least twice a week but also the little brush with Frosty - he despises brushing altogether and Cheerio as well. Bart is the only one fond of it
Every now and then I take a cloth and wet it in warm water, wring it really well and wipe them off - that helps some. I usually do this when Frosty runs over something while playing with the dogs and gets a witty bitty dirty :wink:

Say....What is 'love glove'...I have never seen one of those before?

Here it is

Those gloves are pretty cool...they even help get the fur off of your furniture

 

[Jeanie]

I think I'll get one! Thanks for the great idea.

I will repost a pic of the curry comb as soon at my image host is back up.
Apparently that post was lost.

Are you talking about the little comb looking deal with twirly teeth? If so that is the only thing I can use on Twinkie that actually works...

 

[BoscosMum]

Here is the curry comb again!

What is the 'twirly comb'??? I have heard the mentioned a couple times now....can anyone post a pic or send a link?

When I was looking for something to groom Bart and Cheerio with I kept in mind the comb with twirly teeth ...which I couldn't find; I have found a brush with the same feature instead. They have it at Petsmart - though I didn't see it on their online site. I will try to take a picture of it ( I am not good with the digital camera :? )
