Part Two...the Furminator Goes Beyond Expectations

Part Two of Two.

I looked around and found Nora. She drives me crazy. She sheds so profusely that I don't even want to pet her for fear of covering the globe with her fur. I sat down next to Nora and began to brush her. She LOVED it. I brushed and brushed and I admit I should have maybe read the directions, first, because I ended up giving Nora a thin spot on the center of her back, but if you look, you'll see my first stab at what I got off her in just a few minutes.

Now I can make a new cat or a cat toupeè! Woohoo!

The Furminator is a pleasure to use. Most of the cats enjoy it, though I do have a slight reservation over using it on long-haired coats. Spencer's coat is so thick and long that it feels like he might be experiencing some pulling that would cause him to feel uncomfortable. I need to spend more time with him to really form an opinion.

For short-haired cats, I would not hesitate to recommend a Furminator. I think it's a fantastic tool and because the cat enjoys it so much, it can help owners have some nice bonding time with their companion animals, but as their web site suggests, groom your animal somewhere you can vacuum easily. Once the fur starts to come off, it can make a big mess. To me, it's a big HAPPY mess because I know once it's cleaned up, perhaps there will be less cleaning up in the future?

All the fur on the left is just from NORA (second brushing) and from the pkg to the right, is a mix of a few of the other kitties' fur.

While there's no perfect tool to work with all the issues of a cats' coats, for getting rid of that dense undercoat, the Furminator can't be beat. It's clearly a standout over anything I've used before and I certainly will not be parted from my Furminator, ever again (cue music!).

I've also coined a new phrase, for the "de-shedded" fur. I call them: FURMAINS.

Here's a fun thing to do with your Furmains: put them out in the spring for the birds to use as nesting material! Rather ironic, but it works!.
