Steaming Pet Hairbrush

Maybe it's just my cats. I've always known they're a little weird. Could be my fault. I named them Alexis and David and THEY don't know how hilarious Schitt's Creek is, they just think they have unusually human-sounding names. Or maybe if I'd called them Buttons and Socks or something, they'd still have been weird.

But David in particular always looks like he's recalling his time in the trenches during WWII, and they both run at anything that could be a threat--the ice maker making ice, me nudging the vacuum aside to grab something, sometimes just me approaching and attempting to walk past them in the hallway. Alexis freaked out because I opened a bag of chips too loudly earlier.

Anyway, that being said, I'm torn on my rating. Because it DOES work. The images are right, you do get weirdly perfect little teardrop sculptures of cat hair that all sit tightly together and come off the combs easily. But my cats HATE it. It could be the sound that the offensive brush makes when steam comes out, it could be that it's still a BIT wet (don't let any reviews lie, their fur is a bit damp after, even if not straight wet--but they're still cats and make it VERY clear it is offensive). Is it worth the convenience of the easy grooming to deal with them singing the laments of their ancestors as I try to keep them still while I comb them? Maybe, but it is definitely not the picture I had in mind of my cats going into a zen-like state of indifference as I brushed them, as indicated by some of the reviews.

Cats gonna cat.

But it is very satifying to toss away all those pellets of hair.

my cat loves it

I honestly didn't think my cat would like to be brushed, so I let this thing sit by my chair for a few weeks after it arrived, forgetting to try it.

Boy was I wrong. My cat Loves this thing! He wasn't sure what I was bringing close to him at first, but as soon as I brushed it down his back a couple of times, he was all in. Now he turns in circles so I get all sides, then lies down and rolls over for me to brush his belly. It's a whole ritual.

The mist is cool, and it does a good job of keeping the fine hairs together, so you can easily lift it off the brush pretty easily. I've had mine for a few months now, and it works great. I love that it's rechargeable (USB-C), so no need for batteries. Definitely worth $15.

First recharged it n it worked not even for a minute. After that even after recharging this doesn't work so don't trust it blindly since it's an electronic item.

Too stiff for my cat who hated it. We now have a mitt glove she loves and gets all the hair off. I think my dog would have loved this brush but I think it's too stiff for a cat. It's very clever though whatever temp water you put in that's the steam temp and it works immediately. Charge it via the cord to a plugin charger of your own. Great gadget, works well just better for a dog.
