Just looked up the furminator. I'm gonna get one come payday. The hair that comes off my 4, especially Tigger is shocking. I just use a brush or a grooming mitt at the minute

Just to let you know that the Furrminator grooming tool, REALLY DOES WORK! i brought one on line a few days ago and already have got a sackful out of my two siamese and they dont seem to mind it.. It really is worth the effort!
Cannot save the world, but if everyone does something we can have a jolly good job trying too....

I'm all for the zoom groom, however have to comb them thoroughly afterwards as clouds of fur fly everywhere (mostly on me too). I think I nearly have a duvet full lol. Less probs with hairballs though as it gets out about 10x what an ordinary comb does and they love it. The furminator looks like it may need too much cat co-operation to work properly?!

I think I am a bit thick but can't understand the zoom groom, someone gave one to me because her cat hated it and I've never quite worked out what to do with - sorry I know that sounds dumb!

Erm - you just brush them with it!  ;D  I used to get handfuls of fur out of Magpie with it.

mine would take one sniff and walk around it rather than against or through it :rofl:

I like the idea of that Furminator - might solve the problem I posted about earlier with the tumbleweeds of white cat hair on dark wooden floors

I've never tried one, but there's a link on the Cat Chat website for Furminators.

I've been looking at the furminator but they are a bit expensive  :sick: are they worth it do you think?   :innocent:

I just bought a Zoom Groom and it removed enough fur to make a small cushion! I felt bad, 1) has the cat got any fur left  :evillaugh:  2) I do groom them weekly normally but with a brush so it obviously wasn't working that well  :-[

you need the FURMINATOR!!

I am after a furminator after seeing it demonstrated on you tube a few months ago but you can't get them in the UK,in the US they are the latest grooming gadget and I will get one even if I have to order from the USA they look AMAZING and with two very furry dogs it would make my grooming A LOT easier :)
Love me,love my animals.

Looks a bit pants to me-works on chance passings doesn't it?

Would probably only collect hair from around their face.  :P
