its not really the right size for a cat
id say this is more of a dog brush than a cat brush b/c of its size.  its actually quite large for even my sisters 3 super fat cats.  I always feel nervous about using a wire brush on a cat b/c they are notorious for always trying to bite the brush or rub their face on it.  im always so concerned about poking them in the eye.  all that being said... she LOVED the self cleaning feature of this brush.  I thought the button was just a press and release and the spikes would just keep popping up.  no... u press the button up and it holds it in place while the bristles disappear.  u then move ur finger over the button towards u and the button releases and the bristles pop out again.  I would say that the brush feels quite bulky in my larger girly hand.  my sister was concerned that the button would break over not that much time.  my vote is to use this specifically for a dog and buy a smaller brush with the same concept for a cat.  I hope this was helpful.
