My 3 cats are part maine coon and this works wonders on them! They actually really like being combed now. I get my cats groomed and the groomer recommended it it me, best advice ever.

I have 2 Persian and it works great to detangle and comb out tough areas. It doesn't scratch and seems pretty strong.

I don't know how thick their hair is but it will comb my dogs hair and its thick and curly. I also use it to help me cut their hair. About shedding I don't know and the teeth aren't sharp.

I have 4 Maine Coons-- haven't used it yet (no "cling-ons" as of yet). Have heard be very careful with any clippers as cat skin is very thin. I did buy this for my Maine Coons though and plan to use it when necessary. Shaved butts are really much easier with long hairs. I usually have vet shave them when they do annual dentals. Hope it works for you, probably will.

This type comb would work, but you might need it in a smaller size for your cats, depending on the density of the coat. I use this size on my dog but use the next size down for my cats that are part ragdoll and have the type of coat you describe. Any of the Andis combs have blunted tips on the comb to prevent scratching the skin.

I don't know what a Maine Coon is, but my cat is not really a long hair cat, but I wish I would have gotten a long hair FURmainator because some of the hair is longer and he is really hairy not smooth and flat. also get the larger one, I did and I like it.

I have 3 long- haired cats and i use it dry on them to remove single mats. If she is Severly matted this tool will hurt her. You have to pull on the hair to remove the mat, since this tool is made for dogs not cats. When my cats are severly matted (happens to them the older they get) i take them to the vet and have them shaved. You also could go to a groomer if she will sit. I know what you are going through with the mat situation, i have 2 Ragdolls and a Maine Coon.

I'm using it on my poodle which has very fine soft hair so I don't see why they wouldn't work on a cats hair. I'm assuming your cutting off hair mats which the fact that they come with different length clipper blade guards which makes them quite flexible as far as hair types and results you are looking for

i strongly believe that it will. i have one long haired cat and nothing worked. all the other brushes were a joke. it's not to say that this goes through mats literally like butter, but for a cat brush it's metaphorically like butter. this has a bunch of sharp edges that slice through the knots and mats without cutting the cat. this is way beyond any other brush because it's not a brush. it is great.

I would think you would be looking for comb for your cat rather than this hair trimmer unless you are trying to shave the cat. Hope that helps.

I am and have been using it on my Persian cats and and other longhair. Their skin is much more delicate and sometimes the #10 (if you are not very very careful) can cut them. Even with this one be very careful around nipples and ears. If kitty is not cooperative - STOP - and make an appointment with your vet to get a lion cut. Again, be very careful please.

I don't have cats, but my dogs has cat like hair. It might be a bit large though, you don't want to hurt them. Might be easier to control the one made special for cats.

It has been awhile since I have had, or even petted a rabbit, but I seem to recall their coats not that different than a cats. They may be a little more sensitive so just go easy until your rabbit is used to the combing. It has close set teeth which is why if is great for fleas. Actually my cats don't have fleas, and haven't since a neighbors infestation five years ago so I bought this flea comb because I have Psoriasis. I love to brush my hair bent over and brushing downward. When it is thoroughly brushed I comb my scalp really good with the flea comb before applying my liquid medicine. So there you have it. It has a lot of uses. The teeth can bend if the hair is not first combed for either a cat, dog, rabbit, or me. Just go easy, you're not trying to gouge roads in their skin, just comb, and remove debris, or fleas. If you are going for fleas it is a good idea to have a jar of alcohol handy to immediately dunk the comb into before the loathsome little critter jumps off and back onto your pet, into your hair, your carpet, on your bed, or even the lawn where you could end up with an outdoor infestation problem.

I used this on a long coat Chihuahua, but.also on his tail and belly side where the fur is shorter. I'm not sure how it would work for your cat, but it may be worth a try. We are very pleased with the product.

Never used on cats, but it will work. I know cats do not usually like to be sprayed so maybe spray on hands then rub it thru him. It should work very well! Works great on my Beadred Collie that has extremely long,thick hair. For the price it is well worth it! Good Luck!

I wouldnt hesitate to use it on my cat if I had one just watch the eyes bcause oys not tearless or to be on the safe side use baby shampoo that is tearless

I would suggest the long haired FURminator. I have two cats, one short haired and another more medium with a really thick undercoat, and I sometimes feel like I should have gotten the long to use on both.

it has two size combs one is thin I have a long haired cat. but the other side it large enough for I would think any dog. I like it because you can feel it is made well. you should be fine :)
