FURminator De-shedder Grooming Tool For Long Haired Cats

I brought this brush last week for my two long haired cats. Neither particularly enjoy a brush but will tolerate it. On using it the first time it took a lot of fur off especially the tail where it's really bushy. I wanted to be careful after reading alot of mixed reviews, so only did it for 5 minutes very gently. I used it for thr second time yesterday (5 days later). Narla's tail is very bushy and I noticed it was taking lots of hair from that area. Now it looks really thinned out which I'm not keen on! I noticed both cats have been over Grooming since I've used it only twice? I'm not sure why? I just hope it hasn't irritated their skin? Even though i used no force and only did it for five minutes? I think I'll only used it on the back leg area now where it's very fluffy so it's not a complete waste of money. I brought it hoping for it to reduce their hairballs, which are difficult for them to bring up at times, but I'm a bit too dubious to brush the tail again as it has taken a lot of fur away. I'm also wondering why they have been licking more? It's good, but pet owners need to be really careful as I think it's quite harsh. It's called a brush but I'd say it's more like a blade?

Works great - copes with cots in undercoat of long hair

This is a great ?? product I've been using these for years and does the job brilliant ??

Good for cats/kittens during shredding season. Leave their fur nice and soft

At 9 years old our long haired cat has never been fan of being brushed ... until we purchased the Furminator. In just a few uses, we are no longer covered in long white hairs from shedding!

It works well. Boris likes it from the start.
