I don't ever review things but – My 1& 1/2 year old very long haired fluff ball has had knotting problems, and every brush I tried did absolutely nothing. I was looking at this brush one day and thought ahh why not, the price tag wasn't going to turn me off helping my cat with her knot struggles. Absolutely worth the money (even though it could be cheaper for everyone's sake)… Read more
I've got rid of every one of her knots and non have developed since, don't hesitate and get yourself one if your cat has the same issues. The only thing that doesn't seem to work is the hair detach button but I'm not fussed about that.
P.S She absolutely hated being brushed until I got her this, today she came up and punched the brush and lied down in front of me purring for a groom, if that doesn't sell you I don't know what would. That's actually why I wrote this review.

Why Did I Waste So Much Money Before Purchasing This Tool – My Cat, a normal short haired moggy, (found as a one month old kitten on the side of the Gold Coast Motorway 6 years ago) has been the worst Cat ever owned for 'constantly losing fur'. You only need to look at him and he 'sheds fur by the bucket full' and simple patting/petting him becomes a nightmare of 'red fur everywhere'. We've been Cat Owners… Read more
for over 50 years and have gone through the usual 'shedding due to Summer/Winter Coats' but this Cat, never stops losing Fur. Over the years I've purchased brush after brush but got very little benefit, with fur being all over house in every space imaginable. Two months ago I was at my local Pet Barn Shop at Oxenford, on the Gold Coast and saw the "Furminator Cat Deshedding Tool". I will admit I've seen them before but hadn't considered them, probably because of their cost and not fully understanding how well they would work. This time I took a 'leap of faith' and spent the $70 and my Life and that of my Cat (Bart) hasn't looked back. It's been literally only 2 months since purchasing the Furminator and I already have a 'hard/solid ball' of fur which weighs in (this morning) at 31 grams. What an amazing piece of equipment this is. The initial loss in the first week alone was about 5 grams and then each day since, I give him about 5 minutes of brushing (it's hard as he is a pain and won't just lie still and wanders so I have to follow) each day. Admittedly, I lose a certain amount that simply blows away before I can capture it but I'm astounded by what I've achieved in 2 months which means 31 grams less fur floating around my home, 31 grams less fur that Bart has to get rid of with his grooming. I would have to say this is the best piece of Animal Equipment that I've ever purchased and over a life of having Cats and more recently (11 years) our Dog This Product is worth every single cent it cost and it doesn't appear to be getting any less effective. I like to be totally honest with my reviews even if it means negatives, because before I purchase anything now, I immediately check out this website and I expect others to be brutally frank with their Reviews too. I am going to keep on adding Bart's fur to the ball each day to see how big I can get it. The pictures added to this 'Review' show - today's weight 31 grams after 2 months use, the solid ball in comparison to a 500 gram tub of butter and the Invoice from my Purchase on 18.10.21. No matter the Cat, this is a fantastic investment for looking after your Babies. I try to do 'Reviews' on most Products I purchase and try to be as explicit as possible so that it helps others and also, regardless of being positive or negative, it keeps Producers/Companies honest. I have also added a photo of Bart the Cat.
Love It – Bought this after reading reviews. We have an old, long haired cat who has always shed entire kittens of fur! She now needs assistance with grooming. The furminator has push clean blades which I greatly appreciate, and it is a vast improvement over a regular comb. It removes a lot of loose fur easily and quickly. Robust construction and… Read more
comfortable to use. The cat doesn't mind the comb as long as we don't drag it through a any matted fur. It can be used GENTLY to tease out smaller matts, but you need patience or you will hurt your pet.
This is like a magic wand for cat hair – This brush is AMAZING. It was expensive and I thought i'd just be throwing my money away on a gimmick. IT IS NOT A GIMMICK. I have two tabby cats (short hair) and this brush gets an astounding amount of hair out. Cats enjoy being brushed and it is better than any pet hair brush I have ever owned. It is absolutely staggering how good it is. I would… Read more
have never thought it was possible for cats to shed this much hair. Just an amazing product. Very expensive but 100% worth every cent.
Perfect tool does what it claims – After trying almost everything possible to rid our cat of annoying hairballs we stumbled across an ad for this tool. Our girl is a short hair but sheds what seems like an extra cat a day. She loves a brush but I must admit to being a bit hesitant at first as she is used to a soft bristle. All it took was a gentle stroke and now she comes to it… Read more
actually rolling herself into position for the part she wants brushed. The FURminator gets right into the undercoat and gets rid of the soft fur that causes all the trouble. Her hairballs are a thing of the past too. This is honestly one of the best products I have purchased in recent times and well worth the money spent. Not sure why they added the extra button to release the fur as it's easy to come off but I guess perhaps with some long hair breeds it may be different.
Extracts fur as described – We have two ragdoll cats with fine long coats. FURminator extracts too much of their coats fine long hair to the point of leaving an uneven result and making the cat look rather undignified. Show details
The Furminator By Name, Furminator By Nature – This is the best cat brush I've ever used. I saw good reviews online and there was a sale, so I bit the bullet and paid nearly $40 for a cat brush. It was so worth it though. I have been brushing my cat daily for two weeks and the fur just keeps coming. The amount of cat fluff being "distributed" in my house has decreased SIGNIFICANTLY. These… Read more
brushes are pricey but they are worth it. I got a pink metallic limited edition one which looks very suave and the quality of materials is excellent. This isn't flimsy. My cat generally likes soft brushes but he seems to tolerate and even enjoy this brush. Maybe the sheer amount of fur I'm removing makes him feel good? I have now bought my mum's cat one for Christmas.
My cat comes to it – Surprisingly my rescue cat must have known what it was and runs to it. I can get a bit of fur off her back and tail but she's fussy as to where I touch. I would recommend it if your cat loves being brushed, however, be careful if your cat is a head butter. Mine has butted twice right onto the metal edge and got a freaked out of it thereafter. … Read more
Can't blame her as it's pretty hard and perhaps sharp. It's taken a while to get her a little bit back used to it.
Very effective – I bought a cat version and removed deep seated fluff/fur from my cat that amounted to almost her entire size in the first session alone. She loved it too. This item is brilliant albeit a bit pricey. One feature I found pointless is the eject button - fur comes off tool easily enough. I suggest manufacturer removes it and reduces price.
