FURminator - deshedding, pet grooming tool

I picked up the FURminator at my local pet supply store after I saw it sitting on the checkout counter. The FURminator is a deshedding - grooming tool for dogs and cats. I bought the smaller version for my cats. My older cat has all kinds of matted hair and a regular brush just doesn't seem to keep up with it. After she started getting back into grooming herself and leaving piles of hair everywhere, I decided to do something about it. So I tried the FURminator. I paid double what I should have paid for it at the pet supply store. Amazon has the one I bought for a little over $16. So if you are interested buy your FURminator through Amazon.com.

I tried it on my older cat, and almost filled up a small garbage can with all the fur. When I was done (did it over a few days a little at a time), my cat looked like she had lost 10 pounds and 5 years off of her age. Be careful however, as I caused some scratches and irritation on her tail when I was using the FURminator
