Steamy Cat Brush with Water Tank – Self-Cleaning Pet Hair Removal Comb for Shedding, Long & Short Haired Cats & Dogs – Pet Grooming Spritz Defur Comb (Yellow)

Great for my old car.
I have a very elderly cat who can no longer groom herself very effectively. Although my other cat grooms her, I feel like I should be doing some of that work too. I’ve had good luck grooming motherless kittens by “licking” them with a damp washcloth on my finger, so I was wiping then brushing her. This is so much easier and works so much better. It sort of mimics the way a cat grooms itself. The mist is cool, and I can brush as I dampen her. She wasn’t a big fan at first but trusts me and now she loves it. She wasn’t interested in being an Amazon cat star, so my stuffed kitty stood in for her. You can see in the pic of its “arm” that the moisture is light but substantial enough to make a difference. My sweet old cat is happier and cleaner, and I’m relieved to be able to make her life better.

Like the hand held “slicker” style brush, not using the misting very much.
All of my pet brushes of this hand-held style are the silicone massagers, similar to the human shampoo scalp massagers. But not this one. This is an actual brush – YEA! If you are looking for the silicone tips massager brush with a misting ability, this is NOT the massager brush you want.This little gem is more like a “slicker” style of pet brush, with wire prongs. I was surprised to see that is was even shipped with a plastic insert between the removal plate and the brush body to protect the prongs. In our house, we have had 1 cat who is just now letting me use both a slicker-styled, wire brush and a silicone massager brush on her. Just 2-3 swipes as she walk past when I’m working on my laptop. The handle brush she will tend to back up as if it is a threat, while the hand held massager seems not to be a threat. With this cute hand held version (she doesn’t care if it is cute or not), I get better brushing done when given the opportunity. With her, no misting at all, but the other cats don’t mind a little mist. The hair is easily removed with the push button. Plus, she doesn’t appreciate seeing her brushes used on the other cats (my old man is the only exception) so having one outstanding version helps.I see no reason why a cat that is used to a handled slicker brush of this same type would have any issues with this palm style. Unless the person brushing is using more force than they realize, thereby pushing the metal combs into the fur & skin without realizing they are doing so. I have 5 cats, 2 long haired and 3 short haired, and no one seems to have any issues with this brush. Cost is within the realm of a lot of this type but just be sure to order what you are really looking for. Wire prong brush vs silicone massager. My cats are cushy house cats and we have to have both styles.

Works Exactly as Advertised!
Out of my two female cats (who are both short hair), only one accepts being brushed. Coco, is a dark tabby who normally does not shed that much, but after this hot and humid summer she had begun to shed more. I tried to use the steam setting but she ran away when she felt the water droplets on her (even though she’ll sit in the kitchen sink and let water drip on her… go figure). But when I used the brush by itself (no steam action), she was accepting of it.I did prepare the brush with hope that I would use the steam. The water reservoir to easy to fill and has a small capacity. When turned on, the steam came out almost immediately and was gentle enough. If you’re lucky enough to get the brush near your cat and brush them, the bristles are stiff but are gentle enough to brush your cats fur and really easy to clean with the push-up mechanism that releases the collected hair. The first time I brushed Coco, I collected a lot of loose hair that will not be floating around the house. Two thumbs up!!
