Safari Self-Cleaning Slicker Brush for Cats

We have "a few" kitties - they are all short-haired but still shed plenty. A tumbleweed can always be found in the house. One of our cats has some mats close to her tail. Fortunately her fur is the consistency where you can pull apart and pull out or easily cut out the mats. However, kitties need brushing to cut down on fur balls too. I figured to start with this brush. It works VERY WELL - OMG - at least 1 cat brushed off from the kitty with mats - and her mats came out very easily. And the "self cleaning" function is what this type of brush needs! Easy Peasy! I cannot speak for long-haired cats - that depends upon the fur type.

I have four domestic shorthair cats a.k.a. walking balls of flying fur. It wasn’t my choice but my apartment is carpeted. So because of that a vacuum every day. Not with the big vacuum. That I use once a week but each day I run and I robot through the apartment to pick up fur and litter. No matter what I do two of my cats just seem to have unending amounts of Furrer coming off them more so than my other two. This brush is amazing. It has bristles which I think the cats might like while they are being stroked end it picks up all the hair and it’s just a button push to pull out all that hair in there. It’s not like other brushes where I would have to pick out the pieces and hope I didn’t miss any I have four domestic shorthair cats a.k.a. walking balls of flying fur.

This brush is great and I have used it several times a day just because it’s so easy and convenient. … more

Have tried several other highly rated brushes, but all of them were too big and bulky for my small cat and she wouldn’t tolerate being brushed. This brush is the perfect size, removes all excess hair, and gives my cat’s coat a beautiful sheen that I’ve never gotten from other brushes. Simple, easy to use, and effective!

My cats just don't like this brush. It picks up VERY little hair. Harley jumps up on my desk numerous times a day, loves being brushed. When she sees this brush she runs away. I gave 2 stars for easy cleaning and some cats will probably like it. The other cat even scratched me to get away from it.

This brush is awesome. My cat has thicker courser fur then most and when he sheds its horrendous. I've tried all types of brushes and my biggest complaint was cleaning the fur out of them. It just was impossible. This brush, with the "push" leaver releases all the fur at once into the garbage, and the brush bristles are not all that stiff. He loves being brushed and I love the easy cleanup. A great find!

This brush is the best I have ever used. I have two short hair cats and it really takes away all that unnecessary fur, and after using it for a week or two, there was an obvious decline in fur on my clothes, the furniture, in the air... well, everything. It also resulted in my cats not coughing as much, which would happen with any regular brushing with any brush, of course. But the really awesome thing about this brush in my opinion is the button that pushes all the hair out of the bristles! It's the BEST. I have always been so annoyed and rarely had time to get all the fur out of other brushes that I have had in the past.

Firstly, my cat LOVES this brush which was a huge relief. She usually doesn't like touched a lot, and never liked her old comb. So I was really happy to find something she loves. She loves it so much she ASKS to be brushed every single day! Secondly, she's a shorthair. And it doesn't seem to be the best for shorthairs. It's not bad, but after about 5-10ish minutes of brushing, I only get two little piles of fur and there's still a lot of fur floating off of her. Thirdly, definitely recommend for the self-cleaning alone. Holy cow. In all my life of owning animals, I have never had a brush that was this easy to clean off.

My two boys are obsessed with this brush! I was worried at first because the bristles are sharp, but they don’t seem to mind a bit. I’ve already spent hours brushing them. They seriously can’t get enough. The best part though, is how easy it is to clean the brush - SUPER handy! Definitely worth it!

Had to replace my cats' old brush, and I had seen my friend use this one on her cat. I loved the ease of removing the hair and that the bristles weren't so thick. Her cat enjoyed it and it didn't seem like the bristles would be too rough. Luckily when I looked, Chewy carried the exact brush. Just buy it. My husband thinks it is sooo much better than our previous one, altho it wasn't even bad. Just difficult to cleanly remove all hair. My cats love this brush and I feel like it's gentler on them, while still getting the job done. Hair removal, SO EASY. Hair isn't flying everywhere, button pushes easily, it's just perfect. Definitely going to only be buying this brush whenever I need to replace Had to replace my cats' old brush, and I had seen my friend use this one on her cat.

This brush is genuinely the best. Not only does it allow you to fully remove all of the hair from the brush with the bush of a button, but it actually picks up a LOT of hair! My old brush was average at best at actually picking up hair. I can’t explain why, but my cat actually loves this brush and he always used to run away from the old one. Now he walks over to where I keep the brush and will meow when he wants to be brushed. This brush is so good that I bought one for my aunt’s cat and it’s come up in casual conversation with friends. Buy the brush, you won’t regret it.
