DO NOT stop in the middle and pull off the hair that is stuck on the zoom groom. Leave it on, it makes the rest of the hair stick and not go flying around.

Your right- when I was using it, I was going the same way the whole time- but I would take the hair out after a few strokes. When I brushed him the other day, I kept all the hair in there and it seemed to work MUCH better! I had a kitten by time I was finshed brushing him!
Thanks so much for the great tip!

I'd never heard of these things until this thread. Maybe I should look into them as well...

They work wonders (The Zoom Groom does anyways, I don't have the Shed Ender or Furminator... yet!)! Harley is slowly learning to like it. Today he sat with me (which hardly EVER happens) and let me brush him for about 20 minutes! He was purring and even gave me a kiss!

Which is odd for him, I'm so happy he's learning to love it- Davidson on the other hand... not a fan, but he'll learn. Whether he likes it or not

Plus- they are pretty cheap, I got mine at Petsmart for $6!

I brush with the Furminator about once a week and the zoom groom (and comb for Scully who gets matted easily) every other day

I always thought to myself how beautiful and smooth and sleek your cats coats were (especially with more than one longhair cat). They are all like walking advertisements for these products.
