Has anyone tried using a Furminator yet? I ordered one from eBay, and will have it this weekend. My cat has short/medium hair with an fine undercoat that sheds like crazy. It's been getting great reviews, so I thought I'd try it.
I have it! Takes away plenty of fur! My Anastasia still looks good though (maybe coz I have to do it bit by bit, since she puts up a fight being brushed). I've heard you have to be careful if your cat has soft fur, coz it can break the hair and you shouldn't over-do it. I haven't had any problems with my Maine Coon though.
Be careful not to over do it....It is great on thick and double furred cats...but with a smooth coat will literally "rip" the hair. It can really do damage on a coat. I can use it on my Maine Coon mix....but it ruins my Ragdolls coats.
I have it-it does a good job-as long as my calico will take it. I am usually brushing then following her around on my knees to remove more fur until she starts biting!

His hair isn't real short or long, it's more like medium, but it's not a thick coat. It's just the fine undercoat that sheds everywhere and in the air. I find his hairs in places that he doesn't even go - like in the refrigerator. They just float, and I vacuum all the time. If not a furmininator, what else I can I use to brush him with to keep the shedding and loose hairs down.
When you use it, do you get a lot of hair out? I had an extremely short haired cat that just loved to be combed. Never got much out of him, but he just loved having his back scratched with it.
