Neither of those are the ones I have. They may have changed them as I got mine well over a year ago - they were BOGOF at the time. You can't tell in the photo if the mikki ones have the bobbles. I looked on mine but there is no name on them.

Alice adores her slicker brush - especially on her neck and chin  :Luv2: - some of them are bare wire on the end but I got mine from PAH and their have little plastic bobbles on the ends of the wires t stop them being too scratchy.

Yep, that sounds like mine - with the plastic bobbles on the end and ours love round the head area brushing too.  I agree about the moulting at the vets too, as soon as I take mine out of the carrier the vet's table is covered in cat hair I think it is stress. 

I've found that lighter haired cats seem to moult the most.

I just embrace the hairiness of sharing my home with furry people  ;D  I'm too lazy to worry about it.  I do sometimes feel a bit embarrassed when I go to work wearing them (and have colleagues pointing this out) but hey, I just like having a part of them close to me at all times!

Milo hardly really moults at all. He is quite short haired. Pagan though is longer haired. Not long but not short. Just very very fluffy! Beautiful though! I picked her because of her lovely coat...ignoring that it might be a problem lol. She is pure white and the hairs are bad but not usually this bad. Im putting it down to hormones (7months old) and change in season. Might also be stress of all that went on with ex bf and me.

Il invest in sticky rollers and leave them in the hall for people to use on the way out!

Beavis moults 365 days of the year - in good light you can see fine white hairs drifting around in  the air!

I have given in gracefully , and get through a lot of sticky roller refills!

Vet trips make Alice moult like mad - it must be some kind kind of stress thing?

Phoebe is moulting like i have never seen before in any of my cats, It started after her last visit to the vets 2 weeks ago :scared: I put it to advocate that the vet used on her and thought it must be a reaction, but its not geting better. :(

Pagan is moulting like crazy!! Im used to cat hairs but as the day comes ever closer to moving i wonder about peoples cat hair managment systems! Of course hoovering lots! And investing in sticky rollers for clothes. Anyone know of a good cat mitt?

Slicker brushes are great for getting loose moulting hair out of the coat, specially for shorthairs. Like this one http://www.dingdarlin.co.uk/userfiles/image/slicker_brush.jpg
