Brian, I'm going to move this to Cat Chat for you :wink:

 

Well, Blondie's coat is very fine, almost fluffy, and between short and medium in length. And her favorite brush, which also works the best is (don't laugh) a Revlon jumbo styling brush. Yep, the makeup people :lol:

I second that!

 

Yeah, Zoomgroom is a favorite here, too. Twix likes it, but Andre's absolutely addicted to it.

Yet another vote for the Zoom Groom. If I try to brush my cats with anything else they bite it and take it out of my hand!

 

Zoom Grooms are great. I'm always recommending them to customers. If your kitty is at all prone to matting, though, please add a comb to that list. Matted kitties are my worst nightmare, and I don't even groom them myself

Another Zoom Groom user here.

I use it on all my kitties 3 short hair and 1 long hair and on my dog too

 

Thanks for the tip

Thanks for the tip on the zoom groom.

My cat always liked to be brushed but man...

I picked on up this weekend. When I got home from the store I took it out of the bag and gave her a few quick brushes as she walked by. She did an immediate u-turn and plopped down on the ground with her belly in the air with that "well, get to work" look on her face.

Kit would like to thank you all too.

regards,
Brian

Nothing works as well as a furminator. Check ebay to get a good deal.

I use a Revlon brush on Kobi too...he has very short hair and doesn't shed a lot. But loves to be brushed...and would rub himself all over my hair brush...so I bought him his own.

I have a Furminator equivalent...works awesome and doesn't tug like a comb does.

 

All my cats adn I love the ZOOMGROOM

 

So bought a Zoom Groom....and while they love how it feels...it doesn't seem to take very much hair out. My Furminator equivalent takes out tons in just a few strokes...used it in the same spot after the Zoom Groom and there wasn't any comparison.

I guess the Zoom Groom will be for 'pleasure brushing' and the Furminator equiv for really getting the job done.

 

Do you rub both ways with the Zoom groom? I have a shorthaired cat and this is the only brush that works on him.

I get lots and lots of hair off of him if I rub it both ways..

 

I use a shedding blade and that works great--my cats both like it--with Cooper absolutely LOVING it!

 

I use a brush that I bought in a pet store that has very soft bristles on it for Raven, who is short-medium-haired. Her hair is very fine and spidery-silky and she probably the most fervent groomer I've ever had. She won't tolerate our other cat walking around with even one stray-hair on him--she ambush-grooms him all the time and keeps him presentable (it's not that he won't take care of himself--just that she has higher standards). So her brush is really more for recreational use than grooming. She also likes me to set it on the floor so she can rub her face on it.

When I had long-haired cats, I had a pet-mitt. One of them, a very furry himalayan, loved it. Good thing, too, because he needed it. A lot. The other ones hated it. The brush I used for them was bought in a baby store.

Yes...both ways and sort of swirled it around too. It took out a fair amount, but nothing compared to the Furminator equiv. That thing takes out a fistful in like 3 strokes...

 

I got the Zoom Groom for the kitties last week. Stormy finds a reason to be elsewhere whenever I start to use that, which I'm taking as a hint. Misty loves it, though. That's good because she's rather fluffy and spring shedding appears to be beginning. No matter how much I brush her, I keep getting more and more fur. It never stops. (Are we sure there's actually a cat underneath?)

The Furminator sound appealing but it also sounds like it costs $40. Maybe another time.

I just bought the generic version of the furminator at CVS pharmacy for 9.99 and it works GREAT!! You might give that a try instead of the furminator!

 

I also tried zoom groom due to this thread and i'm not impressed. My cats like it well enough, but it does not collect the hair. It just leaves it in patches at the start or end of my stroke, and it often ends up on my hands. Am I doing something wrong??

 

Thanks for the zoom groom tip, everyone. I got one this past weekend and Rookie loves it. She will even lie tummy-up and tease me into using it on her stomach, which was a total surprise considering she's shaved there now and you'd think those bristles might hurt. And the hair I got off -- unbelievable.

 

October.....what were you using on Rookie before the Zoom Groom? I'm trying to do a comparison to see if maybe I'm doing something wrong with the ZG or if it's just relative to what you've used before.

 

Before the zoom groom, I was using a comb or regular hair brush. I'd always get stuff off her, for sure, but the zoom groom was like it was FALLING off. Since then it hasn't been quite as much. I guess you get much more at the beginning, when they haven't gotten that type of treatment before?
