Can this specific tool be used on cats?

since I do not own a cat, I cannot answer this truthfully but this tool works great on short haired and long haired dogs and I even use it on my horse.

Sorry, I don't actually know for sure. I wouldn't see why not but they do sell different colors of FURminators for cats than dogs. You could probably inquire at a pet store to find out what they say before purchasing one. Hope this helps.

Not sure. I have a German Shepard dog with long thick hair and it worked perfect. Don't know about cats

Hi Randy,I think this tool would work really good on cats.I just tried the one i have on the little stray we have running around here.Now keep in mind that i have the one for Large dogs, but im pretty sure the smaller one will work also.I hope this helps

The one purchased at the pet store was packaged for cats, but comparing them I see no difference. (I now have three of these tools, 1 for cats and two for dogs, I really don't see any difference between the one for cats and the one for small dogs, and the only difference between the one for small dogs and large dogs is that the width of the comb area. ) They have worked wonderful! Not sure that I needed all three, but they are great. Good luck.

I have never received this item. I am arguing with Amazon now for a refund. The person who was selling these is no longer working with Amazon.

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.

Not a chance. It wouldn't even trim my house cat's claws. Just buy a traditional clipper

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.

Hi Joe. Hey, if it were me, I wouldn't personally use this product to remove mats from cats. I have had some experience with removing "cat mats" and have found that the small, round ended scissors for babies' nails, etc. work really well for removing the matted hair on cats. With the rounded edges, you don't worry about poking and cutting them and they are small enough to get down close to the skin if necessary and snip the mat out. I love this product for cutting my hair, but I truly believe that you need something much smaller and more precisely gauged to snip out the mats on a cat. Hope this helps. Hi Joe.

I dont know of an attatchment that can be used directly on my cats. LOL Besides when I turn it on they run so I dont think they would stick around long enough for me to even try such a thing!

I am not sure - I bought one for one of m cats that is truly a "scardy cat" but we have never been able to get it on him. I did use it on a very small dog that is about the size you mention but it was a little tight. I hope some else can give you a more definite answer.

It would totally do that. And it's safe because the blades never touch skin. I cut the back of my own hair with it just using it like a comb, so i bet it would work really well on a cat. A furminator is better for long haired cat grooming but way more expensive. This would work. :)

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'm not sure because I use it for a Wire Fox Terrier dog and the cat hair is finer. A good place to ask would be a groomer at Petsmart what blades they use to groom your kind of cat. I have found them to be helpful. Also look on the internet or U tube. Maybe someone else here will answer. Good luck.

I use mine for my Westie (probably larger than your cat) and for my chahuahua (the only way I can trim her nails). If you cat falls somewhere between these two size dogs, you can probably us it. Good luck -- my cat would freak out!

I don't think so. Sorry.. Not 100% sure because I gave it away when my dog would not use it. I think it's better for a cat.

Someone in one of the reviews discovered that a (presumably) identical styling brush is sold for pet use. It can be found under 'Easy Groom Adjustable Pet Grooming Trimmer Razor Comb,' but does not have particularly favorable reviews. Also the original review from where that was observed was a negative review in which they were trying to use it (this product) on a cat. So, maybe... but probably not.

I have 3 cats. I don't recommend for mats . It does not cut thru mats, it will just jank them making grooming very unpleasant. They do have tools that will cut thru tangles and mats.

It's probably fine to use on a cat but I would look for something formulated for cats just in case.

Yes, I used it on my thick haired Persian kitty yesterday. The DVD it comes with is more geared toward dog grooming, but it does have a few tips that can be applied to cats as well :)

Yes. However, they come off one at a time after a week or so and your cat may find a chair or sofa to sharpen the one or two that are exposed!
