it's great! not just a brush, my shiba thought it's a massager! December 18, 2008 When my shiba, an old but silky black cat, first came to my home, she didn't want to move at all - she looked so stressful. I gently approached her and brushed her with this zoomgroom, then - it was amazing - shiba stretched her body and became just relaxed. I love it. Thanks.
It's ok, but too messy December 6, 2008 I think I'd rather have something professional, this thing just didn't get all the hair off and seems to tear at my cat fur. The fur goes everywhere too, I would not buy again.
Even my cranky cat loves it November 20, 2008 I have one rescue cat who does not like to be touched very often and only then if she initiates contact. The downside to this cat is that she sheds as much fur as four normal cats would. I had to do something since the slicker brush I was using on my other cats only seemed to rile her up and make her uncomfortable. We had black fur deposits everywhere in the house.
A friend recommended ZoomGroom and so I thought I would give it a try. I caught my cat relaxing and sunning herself in a chair and started gently brushing her with it to see if she would let me. She was in ecstasy in minutes and could not get enough. She even started purring loud enough for me to hear her which is a real rare experience with this cat. I took off a wad of fur that was about the size of a baseball just in that one grooming session. It was a good experience for both of us.
My other cats are not so happy about the ZoomGroom. One of them just tolerated the grooming, but was happy with the extra attention and the other one ran off after only 3 strokes. But neither of these cats are big shedders so I am ok with that. I am very happy with this purchase.
My cat grooms himself! November 17, 2008 I have a Norwegian forest cat (aka very long-haired) and he loves this so much he'll groom himself with it. It doesn't help with his undercoat, but it helps with the outer coat. I also use it to groom me when I'm done brushing him. I use it to get all that staticky fur off my clothes.
Soft, but Too Soft August 18, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is nice and soft, which my vet says will keep people from hurting their cat if they aren't careful enough when they brush. Also, once you have some hair on it, it does pick up the hair well, I guess because it has a slightly sticky feel to it (like static cling).
However, I have a hard time holding it because of its thickness in width - the design is cute but awkward for me personally to hold. Also, when you first start out, and there is no hair at all on it, the hair tends to fly off it and not stick because the "fingers" of the brush have a lot of space between them.
Also, you have to press way too hard on a cat to get anywhere near the bottom of the fur. The brush "fingers" have no rigidity and don't get down to the bottom of the fur, so my cats still shed a lot. So, I started using the Zoom Groom for quick top-layer brushing, but I had to get a different, more rigid brush to use also. The Zoom Groom, I think, would be good for daily grooming or for use when you just want to basically "pet" your cat.
