We recently bought an EquiGroomer, which pulls TONS of hair off our shorthair. He likes it, and doesn't attack. Its been many years since we bothered to try brushing a shorthair. Now that we can . . . is there any point to it, other than that he sort of likes it? I feel like if we capture 95% of the loose hair we brush off of him, the total amount in the house still goes up. And like there is an infinite supply on the cat, so brushing does not actually reduce the amount of shedding.
The Equigroomer is much less effective on our medium hair cat. We do not currently have a brush she likes or will tolerate, but she does not ever get mats.
Really the only hair issue we have is that we have carpet in the finished basement and dont vacuum it enough. So hair accumulates, and one of them eats it and a hairball results. But I feel like the solution is vacuuming more, and that brushing probably wouldn't make a difference?
