A few weeks ago I decided it was about time I did something about the cat hair issue we have in this house. What finally sent me over the edge was waking up one morning to several piles of hair, less than 24 hours after having vacuumed. I had had enough and decided we needed to either spend the money and send Charlie to the groomer to be shaved for the spring (which I was afraid of doing as it stresses some cats out and I definitely did not want a cat peeing all over my house), or finally spend the money on a pet hair brush I've heard so much about, The Furminator.
It's incredibly expensive for a grooming brush, but let me tell you, it is so worth every penny! I've bought every knock off available on the market, and not a single one removes the hair like this brush does. I can spend ten minutes grooming Charlie and for once in his life I can pet him with out sending loose hair flying. It'll probably take me a while to get him to a point where I don't have to do it every day, especially since it's spring and he's shedding like mad, but I'm already seeing a difference in the amount he leaves behind on the floor, and in the amount of hairballs he's had, which is a very big problem for him. The absolute only issue I have with the brush is that it electrifies the hair and causes it to stick to me, which I remedied by brushing him on the carpet. It sounds counterproductive, but the hair sticks to the carpet and not my hand and I can then brush him faster. To clean it up all I have to do is pick up what I can, then use the brush lightly on the carpet to get the rest. Don't even need to vacuum!
Accept no substitutes, this brush is where it's at as far as deshedding tools are concerned!
