RE: Does your cat shed hair excessively?
My Princess sheds like crazy. I comb her twice a day, but the fur never seems to stop coming off. Even as I'm petting her throughout the day, I gently try to pull off loose fur. It doesn't matter how much I take off, she seems to produce more right on the spot!

Her long hair is sometimes a problem because she's prone to hairballs. If I ever see her getting into an intense self-grooming session, I need to step in and try to comb her out before she swallows half her fur. If I do slack in combing her, you can bet the hairballs will come up.

It gets down in there and pulls out the loose undercoat. This thing will take off so much loose fur that you will feel like you have another cat with all the fur you'll brush out. When I am consistent with using it, there is much less hair all over the furniture and our clothes. I highly recommend it.
I've heard this comb recommended before and have been wanting to try it. I have about 3-4 combs for my cats (more than I have for myself!), but none of them seem to do a very good job.

A tip for cat fur on furniture and beds: I've found nothing works better than plain old dishwashing gloves. I put them on and wipe the fur off the bed covers (okay, and sometimes the kitty herself). The fur comes off easily by sticking to the textured underside. I had tried some of those sticky rollers before, but they didn't "grab" as much fur as the gloves.
