Bubba vs The Furminator - Round 1
http://members.cox.net/claudevl/Bubba-Furminator.jpg
I can't say either of us particularly enjoyed the experience but it certainly was worth doing. Hopefully round 2 will be a bit less of a melodrama. |

Almost an entire Bubba worth of hair gone and probably that much again yet to go when I work up the nerve to go through the crying and hissing and scratching act again... :^) |

Hopefully round 2 will be a bit less of a melodrama. It looks as if Bubba had been saving up. Ever since I got him a few years ago I've combed him out every week or so. When I got him from the pound it looked as if no one ever had brushed him at all. His belly fur was so matted that I had to have a professional groomer shave him.(I didn't want his first impression of me to be that. LOL). A normal comb-out usually gets about a softball sized ball of hair. The Furminator really gets in there... I can tell that there are still spots that need it. I'm gonna wait a few days though. Even though I'm sure it doesn't actually hurt him he's such a drama queen about it I want to give him time to forget before round 2... |

There's almost that much more to go in round 2... |

Hopefully round 2 will be a bit less of a melodrama. I bought a Furminator and I think I'm the only person I know who doesn't like it. It only works because there's a razor embedded in the comb and it shaves off the hair rather than combing out the dead hair (there used to be a "Ronco" product like this for humans - it used to be advertised in commercials for moms to give their husbands and kids haircuts at home). As long as I brush the cats with it I'll keep getting hair out endlessly, but then I feel a rough kind of "stubble" when I pet them. I stopped using it thinking that eventually my cats would end up almost bald. Hugs, CatNipped |
