Four Paws Magic Coat Professional Series Pet Grooming Kit - Dog & Cat Trimmers, Nail Clippers, Brushes for Shedding & Coat Care | Perfect for Home Grooming & Professional Pet Salons

I say that because of the various reviews AND my own experiences. I have 3 cats. One has a long very thick coat. One has a shorter thicker coarse coat. The 3rd has short very fine silky texured coat. The results for me were different for each cat.Cat number 1 with the long thick coat absolutely adores being brushed with this brush. And it works wonders on the knots she gets almost everyday. She's rather large at 16 pounds and it's hard for her to reach her back when she grooms herself. This is the first brush I've found that made it soooo simple and easy to get those knots out. It did take about an hours worth of gentle brushing at the knots, with it being repeated several times during the day, but she is now smooth and soft as can be.Cat number 2, with the shorter thick coat, tolerates the brushing for a few minutes and then she says "That's enough"!Cat number 3 .. the one with short silky, fine hair ...was not one bit happy when I attempted to brush her with it even though she takes well to a different kind of brush. Now won't even let me near her with this one in my hand.Overall, I still give this brush a 5 star rating. I just caution you to be aware and know your cat!The long haired cats are likely to love it.The cats with short finer hair will likely hate it!
