3 out of 5 stars Soft, but Too Soft   August 18, 2008
Loren Paulsen
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.



5 out of 5 stars Love It! Love It! Love It!   July 16, 2008
Jennifer K. (Montana)
My cat loves the Zoom Groom! I love it too because it's the only brush that actually removes enough fur to make brushing worthwhile. It does make a mess but that's only because it's removing so much fur. I would definitely not recommend brushing your cat with him on your lap while you are wearing black pants. I brush my cat in the middle of the carpet right before I'm ready to vacuum. I just brush all of the hair towards his tail and let it collect there and then just grab it with my hand and keep making a pile on the floor. The trick is to only brush with repeated, straight strokes in one direction because then the fur will mostly collect in a line at the back of the brush. If you try and go in circles or random directions then you end up with an even bigger mess. When I'm done I just throw away the big pile of fur I've created, rinse the brush in the sink and vacuum the carpet. I could never get my cat to sit still for any other brush but he comes running when he sees I have the Zoom Groom in hand. His favorite thing is to just rub his face on it and get a head massage. My cat is a notorious hairball yacker and when I religiously keep him brushed with the Zoom Groom there are no hairballs in sight and he is softer than ever. There is no better product on the market for removing loose fur from cats.


4 out of 5 stars Love/Hate Relationship   June 13, 2008
Siren (USA)
My persnickity kitty loved this item the first few times we used it. But then she began running from it when I'd bring it out. It's the BEST for collecting hair, if your kitty enjoys it. But I wonder if it's not uncomfortable for them.


3 out of 5 stars works great but messy   May 14, 2008

This brush does a great job at getting rid of lose hair on my long-haired cats. BUT it doesn't hold the fur on to the brush so it gets everywhere. I just keep picking it up in my hand but I have to say - I'd like it more if it did a better job at not spreading fur everywhere.


2 out of 5 stars My cat does not like it   May 6, 2008

I thought this would be great, but my cat did not like it. I have a hard time getting my cat to stay put to let me brush him with it.
