Hey, thanks everyone! I went to Petco in searchof the easy groom cat rubber brush, and guess what? They were almostsold out of
everything! (Of course, lol,I missed theclearance sale)The entire grooming isle was empty exceptfor two brushes and a rubber cheek pad for cats which fell from itshook. I grabbed it! It's working pretty well--The rubber seems to actlike lots of fur-plucking-fingers and as mentioned, the pink catslicker works well to gather hair pulled by the rubber brush. If anyoneis in a similar situation, it's called "The Groovy Groomer" and as itturned out, it cost less than a buck! (But this may be due to theclearance sale). The backing is sticky so that the pad might be appliedto a wall for a cat to rub against and groom its face..(this seems likea useless invention since that's what black pants and couches are for)What's great is, the brissles aren't even as long as my finger nail, soit affectively grabs the short little bits of silky fur.

I don't remember what type of rabbit you have - sorry!I'm on an email list for lionhead breeders and we were recently talkingabout grooming. One of the top breeders in the nation forlionheads - uses a wig comb I think...something for wigs. Shepointed out that for the really wooly breeds (and lionheads can bewooly in the mane area) - that the hair will break with a traditionalbrush/comb...

Thanks, they're fuzzy lops....verrry fuzzy lops. I think their furwould be easier to gather if it were longer, but theirs is short hairedand fine enough to escape the brissles of traditionalhairbrushes..never heard of a wig combthough!
This is funny....
I just turn the vacuum cleaner on and use the ZoomGroom Brush together. The vacuum cleanerpicks up the loose and flying hair, and it cleansoff the brush while I'm brushing. At times I plucktoo. When I'm done, I vacuum Pebbles and myselfoff.
Rainbows!
Lol, PetBunny, I bet vacuming them would work better than a brush! But,my bunnies are skittish and I think the noise would scare them. ...It'sall I can do to hold him down while I yoink the pesky balls of loosefur from his behind. *grunt!*....*stamp!* He spends the whole timetrying to open his cage door as I torture him with the petting andbrushing.
The rubber brush I bought looks very much like your zoom groom brush,only mine is shaped like a paw print! -- It's working pretty well!
I use a variety of brushes - slicker brush, wet hands and a shedblade. The shed blade works very well on fine hair
Wow, Seniorcats, I wouldn't have thought this was a brush at all--where are the bristles/ how does it work?
Lol, yep!
You could try wetting your hand and petting her, then washing the fur off your hand.
Thanks, Shuu, but all this does is cause tiny amounts of fur tostick to my hand while leaving the bulk of loose fur protected underthe sturdy strands of fur. It's more like an undercoat, only his entirecoat happens to be the same texture.
