Product Information

Bissell Furget It All-in-One Grooming Brush: I liked this dematting brush, which did a good job removing excess undercoat. The pile of fur it extracted was comparable to that of the Furminator. The tool is comfortable to hold but slightly larger and less agile than the Andis or Furminator. SleekEZ Original Deshedding Tool: This affordable wooden tool with a wavy stainless steel blade has a pleasing look and is easy to hold. But, of the three deshedding blades we tested, this one did the worst job removing hair from the undercoat.

Litterbox.com Grooming Brush: Litterbox.com's bamboo grooming brush, which has stainless steel pins on one side and soft boar bristles on the other, doesn't fit into any of our defined testing categories, but I like that it is two brushes in one. It works well for a short-haired cat but is not particularly effective at removing the undercoat from a long-haired cat. Those who refuse to be groomed with a brush or a comb may tolerate grooming gloves, which fit closely to the natural shape of the palm. "Using a grooming glove or a soft rubber grooming brush can acclimate your cat to the feeling of being brushed in a gentle way," says Simpson. The side with fewer teeth has more space between each prong making it a highly effective rake that can work through mats of all shapes and sizes. The side with more teeth serves as an efficient comb as it passes through the undercoat, removing loose hair and dander. Yes! Brushing a cat removes dead hair and skin cells that would otherwise end up being swallowed while grooming or shedding onto your floor. The less hair a cat consumes, the less likely they are to have regular hairballs. Brushing also distributes the natural oils in the coat to keep it shiny, stimulates blood circulation, and helps a cat and their caregiver bond. How often should I brush my cat?

Hartz Combo Brush: This dual-ended brush gives you two grooming tools in one. One side is a pin brush with round-tipped stainless steel bristles, and the other side uses nylon bristles. You can start a brushing session with the stainless steel side to help remove loose fur and detangle and then switch to the nylon side to massage and condition the fur as it redistributes the pet’s natural oils. Pros: Good for cats who are sensitive to grooming, flexible and comfortable, available in five sizes, can be used wet or dry, good for massage or bathing, durable If your cat is prone to developing mats in their fur, the GoPets Dematting Comb will help you target existing tangles and knots while helping to prevent future mats from developing. The dual-sided tool has curved teeth on both sides, one with 23 and the other with 12, to gently but effectively work through matted areas without scratching your cat's delicate skin.

Shedding is a normal function of any animal with hair. "Everything has an expiration period," Harper says. "The hair will run its course, it'll fall out, and it will be replaced by a new follicle." How does a cat's tongue work to remove hair? This grooming tool is ideal for both long- and short-haired felines, as well as virtually all dog breeds. The sturdy, comfort-grip handle is designed to prevent slipping and wrist strain. Pros: Self-cleaning button retracts pins for easy hair removal, ergonomically designed handle with rubber grips, stainless steel pins detangle mats and tangles, good for undercoat care While cats don't need to be bathed, Miller says baths are effective for removing dander and dead undercoat and keeping a cat's coat fresh. However, not many cats enjoy being bathed by their guardians. If you think your cat might be willing to be bathed, introduce it cautiously and use a shampoo designed specifically for cats, not humans. If your cat really needs a cleaning but won't tolerate bathing, try a grooming wipe like Earthbath's hypoallergenic version. When should I take my cat to a professional groomer?

Our top picks for cat brushes

Yes, gently brushing a cat with a soft-bristled brush, like our choice for Best Overall, the Mars Boar Bristle Cat Hair Brush, once or twice a week will collect the hair that has been shed from a cat's coat. It will collect on the head of the brush, reducing the amount of hair found throughout your home. After each brushing session, the hair collected on the brush should be disposed of in the trash.

Some cats naturally adore being groomed, some tolerate being groomed, and some are irate at the concept," says Miller. The Chris Christensen Cat/Carding Buttercomb #013 has teeth of two different lengths to dig into and untangle mats. I found the well-constructed HandsOn All-in-One Bathing and Grooming Gloves to be the best of the brands that I tested. The rubber palms are covered with rounded nubs, three clumps on each finger and two on the thumb. The other side of the glove is made of strong nylon fabric with a Velcro closure at the wrist that secures it snugly. The Frisco Cat and Dog Combo Brush is sturdy, versatile, and priced affordably. It's double-sided, with a pin brush on one side and a soft bristle brush on the other. The pin side removes tangles and any loose hair, while the bristles work to smooth and soften hair and help distribute natural oils through your cat's fur. The rubber handle makes it easy to maneuver and comfortable to hold.Pros: Dual-length stainless steel teeth, solid brass spine, lightweight, comfortable to use at different angles Neither of my cats seems to experience discomfort while being brushed with this deshedding tool — one absolutely adores it — and the curved plastic edge prevents the blade from accidentally cutting into their skin. Grooming gloves: Grooming gloves are best for cats who are sensitive to brushing or who love a good massage. Like regular gloves, they fit over the hand and secure at the wrist. On the palm, dozens of raised, soft-but-firm rubber or silicone nubs help to remove loose hair, dirt, and debris while stimulating circulation and distributing the natural oils that keep the skin and coat healthy.
