Zoom Groom brush
 

These are excellent brushes. I send one home with rabbits who are adopted from
me. The cats love them too, and Dean keeps one on the end table to brush the
cats.

My only negative comment is that the hair didn't always collect in the
brush but would fly around a bit. However, the Catnip review had
mentioned this, so I brushed one cat outside and the other in a
closed spare room, vacuuming afterwards.

What I do is brush my cats first with a rubber brush that loosens up the fur
and gathers it, then I take a slicker type brush to pick up all the loose fur.

This isn't the only traditional dog grooming tool that can work well for
cats.
One of my cats use to get little matts because she wasn't able to groom so
well anymore.
A dog undercoat rake worked wonders, used very gently of course.

Normally, I don't post messages like this, but I thought I'd share
this in case anyone is interested. . .

My cats don't like to be brushed, but they have been shedding so much
lately and getting hairballs that I had to do something. I read an
article in Catnip (put out by Tufts) about grooming tools and they
said good things about the "Zoom Groom" brush. It's a completely
rubber "brush" that more or less massages the cat and the rubber grabs
the hair.

I bought one yesterday, and it works great! It really got the hair
out! Tucker didn't mind it at all, and Benny, though squirmey, purred!

I don't work for the company or anything--just a customer. Definately
worth a try if your cats don't like a regular metal brush.
