I didnt like the furminator, hated it on my longhairs. Its bascially a blade in a handle and overpriced in my opnion. Its heavy and what I call 'clunky' (LOL!) on slim/thin cats. Unfortunately it doesnt just pull out undercoat, pulls out topcoat too.

That's odd as obn their own site, it says suitable for all shedding cats, long and short hair - on Petplanet site, they give you a whole list of breeds it's not suitable for, ie LaPerm, Ragamuffins (Are they Ragdolls?) etc etc
DO NOT BREED OR BUY WHILE SHELTER ANIMALS DIE

I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain

 :rofl: it's a brush that gets deep in to the fur to get out knots - not good on for my Bengal boys  - but great for Thai's thick coat.

It's a bit like a flea comb - teeth are close together and it seems to slice out the undercoat. Really good for long haired kitties.

Wheres the best place to buy one from? Is there somewhere that will give some money to charity if I get it through them? I think Rosie needs one, she is losing loads of fur at the moment.
