Four Paws Magic Coat Cat & Kitten Slicker Brush

The Four Paws Magic Coat Cat & Kitten Slicker Brush is a small slicker sized for a cat rather than a scaled-down dog brush, with fine angled pins that lift loose hair out of the coat before the cat swallows it.

Key Features

• Fine angled pins on a small head
• Sized and weighted for cats and kittens
• Lifts loose hair out of the top coat and the undercoat below it
• Part of the Four Paws Magic Coat grooming range

Using A Slicker Without Scratching

• Keep the strokes light and let the tips do the work. Pressing a slicker into the skin causes the red graze groomers call slicker burn
• Hold the brush loosely and flick at the end of each stroke rather than dragging through
• Short-coated dogs rarely need a slicker at all. They are for coats with an undercoat or a woolly texture

Brushing And Hairballs

• Every hair a cat grooms off itself gets swallowed. Brushing takes that hair out over a bin instead
• Regular brushing is the single most effective thing an owner can do about hairballs, and it costs nothing after the brush
• A cat bringing up hairballs more than occasionally, or retching without producing anything, should see a vet rather than be brushed harder

Making Grooming Easy

• Short, frequent sessions beat long ones. A minute a day with treats builds a pet that tolerates grooming for life
• Work in the direction the coat grows and stop before your pet has had enough. Ending on a good moment is what buys you the next session
• Clean the tool out as you go. A brush clogged with hair stops reaching the coat and starts dragging on it
