Review (3/5): My cat doesn't like this
Since the bristles are coated at the tips, it gets caught more easily in my long haired cat's fur, even where there are no tangles or mats. My short haired cat takes to it a bit better. It is easy to keep accumulated fur cleared off. I'll keep shopping for something that works better for my long haired cat. It's not a bad product, but it was purchased specifically for my long haired cat.
