Joyce: you can get a dematting rake and then use a comb on Astros butt...If the matts dont come out that way then you should proly take him to a groomer and get them clipped out. Thats what I would do.
Yes I would say its the same for cats. I have seen them furminated and they end up looking pretty crummy. Not to say that your cats do..ppl tend to get carried away and really mess up the coats. I would seriously stick to a Slicker brush and a comb. Those are the tools I use for cat grooming.
Sorry about the negative feedback on this thing..I have just seen to many furminations gone sooo horribly wrong. I would rather ppl know and make a decision based on what they heard over using it and finding out the hard way!

Aimee (Obnarb)...I love her Harry stories!
Vertigo wrote:I'll chime in to say the real furminator doesn't do much on Montgomery's fur. There's nothing for it to grab it kind of just combs him. (if that.) I think I can pull more fur out with just petting him while he's shedding.
So what's the consensus for the best thing to use?
