Best Cat brush

Soft brushes with their thin metal tines remove loose hair from the undercoat. Most models are about 6 – 7 cm wide and equipped with a wooden handle. Many cats are sensitive and find the fine metal tines painful. Therefore, do not go through the coat with pressure. The fine metal tines take the undercoat with them even if they are lightly brushed through. Trixie soft brushes are offered together with a practical brush cleaner. Without this aid it is difficult to get the fur out between the fine bristles. An extended version of the soft brushes: double-sided brushes with handle in round or oval shape. One side is equipped with metal tines, the other with bristles. These cat brushes are only conditionally suitable for long-haired breeds. The soft brushes as well as the double-sided brushes are affordable – even for smaller budgets.

The FURminator from de Shedding or technically similar “no-name” devices effectively thin out the undercoat in the coat. The device is a high-quality stainless steel comb with a protective blade cover. With its ergonomically shaped plastic handle, it fits comfortably in the hand. With the integrated eject function, you can remove the combed hair at the touch of a button. The device drastically reduces the undercoat and loose hair within a few minutes – up to 90%. Use caution when using this product. Never use the FURminator under pressure. Pull the device in lanes, starting at the head towards the tail. Do not walk several times over the same spot and use this cat brush only when the coat is dry. The trade offers versions for long-haired cats and short-haired cats. The device is more expensive than other cat brushes, but offers the highest efficiency.

With a silicone fur brush you can make your cat feel comfortable. Cats love the gentle massage with this brush and like to play with it. The cat brush is completely made of silicone, so there is no risk of injury. The silicone knobs loosen the coat, the loose hair can be removed either with your hand or with the smooth side of the cat brush. The silicone brushes are available for longhaired cats and short-haired cats. Practically, you should perform this procedure outdoors, there is a lot of hair flying around. The brush is easy to clean with water and, depending on the model, is also dishwasher safe. The smooth side is well suited for removing cat hair from textiles or cat blankets.

Natural hair cat brushes are the right thing for delicate cats. Unfortunately, they’re not very effective. Brushing with a natural hair brush only takes a little loose fur with it. These brushes are unsuitable for long-haired cat breeds because they do not penetrate the undercoat. Shorthair cats, on the other hand, usually find gentle brushing a pleasant massage and like to play with it. The natural hair brushes are already available for little money. However, you should pay attention to good quality, because the cheap variants often lose the bristles quickly.
