   The media could not be loaded.  This is the first brush I’ve consistently used on my ex- feral kitty. He loves this brush. He even turns on his back so I can brush his belly. After using this brush for a week or two I’ve noticed that physically he seems to trust me more. He lays next to me and gets very close to my face. He never did this before I started using this brush. To remove the fur I use my thumb to scrape it into one mat. I don’t just pull the hair straight up like I do with other brushes. The brush is small but it works so well that I don’t mind the size. My cat has medium length fur. I will definitely buy this brush again!!

   No kidding. If I could give 10/5 stars I would! I have had cats most of my life and I’ve tried a myriad of cat brushes. My cats over time have responded from “barely tolerate” to “I still have scars on my hands and arms from the experience.”My current cat is 17 and is needing some help with grooming. It has been a scruff him and get the bandaids arrangement – he hates brushings with a passion. Having packed his brush for a move, it had been almost 6 months since I brushed him. (Our stuff got delayed, don’t ask.) I decided I couldn’t wait any longer and ordered a new brush.It arrived today. I brushed my cat. He Purrred! He rubbed affectionately against me! He laid down on the floor for more! It was a wonderful, bonding experience!! I am stunned!!Why is the brush different? It is pretty much a standard cat brush with the little prongs – but one HUGE GAME-CHANGER DIFFERENCE – someone at Hartz figured out to tip each of the little prongs with a tiny ball of plastic. Boom! It no longer scratches my cat’s sensitive skin! I removes the hair just as effectively. (Actually, more effectively if you consider I can brush him longer.) As with any prong-type cat brush, it’s just a little difficult to remove the hair, but if you simply rub it gently in the direction of the prongs-bend, you should get 98% or so of the cat hair out.Hartz, I have to give you credit! You’ve made a simple adjustment to an ok product and made the product – and user experience – Outstanding! (I’m going to order a second one now!)

   My cats love love love this. They push against it when I’m brushing. One tries to chew it. They purr loud as can be while getting brushed. One cat has a thick coat and it removes a ton of her loose hair. The other cat has a thin coat and it also removes his loose hair. Great for average or short hair. Would buy it again if I lose or break it. Has held up great for a year so far , even after the cat trying to chew the bristles.

   The media could not be loaded.  I’ve been struggling with brushing my 3 month old bunny. She has been getting a little hormonal and she hates her other brushes (her usual ones that she liked before). I thought I would give this a shot.Safe to say… she LOVES this one now! If you see the video I posted, she literally flops over when I use this brush on her. I have never seen her do that before! Now after a few more grooming sessions, she is calmer now. Definitely recommend.

   I don’t care really, it’s used on my cat. And she LOVES this brush. So it gets 5 stars. This is more her review than mine. So, “Meow meow meow, meow. Meow. Meow, meow, rawl. Meow. Meow. Meow! Purrrrrrr!”Those are her words, not mine. I wish it had a button to get out the fur easier, but hey, that’s what multi-purpose chopsticks are for.

   My golden was not a fan of the previous brushes I purchased. She would squirm and not want to be brushed. I think the rubber tips on this one really make a difference and she actually will lie while we brush her. The brush itself is very sturdy and well built. The bristles are sturdy and don’t bend easily (and issue I had with others). I have the same brand brush for my cat and it works the same way. Would endorse these brushes wholeheartedly.

   My Cat: middle-aged male, american shorthair orange/white, about 10 pounds, not skinny or fat.This brush is, paws-down, our favorite (I have maybe 4 different ones). It’s a compact brush with a small head. The brush’s bristles are covered with small plastic beads, so the cat doesn’t get a sharp poke when he grinds his face against it.I like the feel of this brush in my hand: I can either brush him by holding the handle, or I can hold the top of the brush in my hand and brush that way. The two options enable me to switch it up and give my hand a rest, and easily apply different amounts of pressure while brushing.I’ve had this brush for several months and the caps on the bristles have yet to come off – the brush seems very well made.The brush is also very easy to clean – one downward swipe with my fingers removes almost all the cat hair.If you’re looking for one brush to rule them all, this is a very good option. I also like the purple colors – even the plastic caps on the tines are purple!I’m thinking of getting another one just to keep one of these in different parts of the apartment.I agree with other reviewers that the bristles are fairly stiff. If you have a very skinny or very fragile cat, this might not be the brush for you and your cat.

   Best Cat Brush EVER! We have 3 cats from long hair to short and we shave the long hair twice a year. They all love being brushed with this brush. It even works great on the long haired cat after she has just been shaved. It gets the little loose hairs off and she loves it! There are similar brushes that we have tried but there is something about this “Hartz Slicker Brush” that makes it different. I’ve bought two of these and will be buying more so I can have them in more rooms of the house. Cats love to be brushed with this brush. If I could a afford it, I’d buy a hundred of these to give to the local Humane Society to give away to every one who adopts a cat.

   You have never seen a shorthaired cat with as much fur as mine. She has the densest, fuzziest coat. I got this brush to try to help her avoid hairball issues, which it does, but the real treat is how much she loves being brushed! We’ve had other brushes that were only tolerated on her back and sides of her face. With this Hartz Slicker, she comes and stands on my lap, patiently presents both left and right sides for thorough brushing, then settles down and purrs like a maniac while I brush her face, throat, chest, belly, arms, legs and tail. The brush takes a huge amount of fur from her coat every time. The real treat is how much she loves it. Plus she hasn’t hacked up a hairball since we got it.

    My cat has medium length fur. I bought 2 brushes from this listing, A and B, as pictured. Because I didn’t really know what the difference was based on the descriptions, and couldn’t figure out which would be best for my cat, I had intended to return one, but kept both.Brush A I find is awesome for loosening up fur below the top coat, then I use B to pick it all up.A is absolutely garbage for picking up fur; it essentially just falls off the brush and back on to my cat, but does a stellar job doing work that B can’t. Brush A is absolutely worthless on its own, in my opinion.Brush B is a basic grooming brush that picks up fur as it goes. It does not have any release mechanism, so getting the fur out involves using your fingers to grab between the prongs. Bit of a hassle but meh. The prongs are also very flimsy and are prone to bending; I expect to have to replace this brush within a year of purchase for this reason.With that said, the 2 brush combo has extra steps, and can make a bit of a mess, but does a great job helping us control my cats fur fallout.TL;DR get brush A if you have another brush to pick up the fur. It does not have a good fur catcher on it. Get B if you need a brush for basic grooming that picks up fur.Bonus horribly unflattering picture of my cat
