Re: the furminator debate

I also picked one up, seduced by the video of the same brush dealing with Mal and cat-fluff. So far we find that:
- the cats both HATE it and are going back to their old favorite brush; apparently, that slight pull before it cuts is pretty unpleasant
- medium-coat Allie likes it and it's pretty effective with her undercoat
- it's completely useless on longish, softish-coat Rowan - but he does great with the twirly-tined rake anyway
- it pulled about a bushel of fluff off plush, short-coat Ghost, line-brushing, this about 2 weeks after professional grooming. I can't say he enjoyed it much,and it did feel pretty destructive, but he looks splendid. ;-)
So we'll keep using it but sparingly, and since the only thing they really love is being ShopVac-ed, and a cool dip in the kiddie-pool, still do that too.
