I can understand that the furminater could be rough on longhaired kitties.  When I had a longhair, I used either of 2 combs I had bought for my poodle.  They are stainless steel with teeth that are 1 1/2 and 1 1/4 inches long, and fairly wide spaced.  Be sure to brace the skin firmly with the...

A 40% humidity level is not a dangerous level for people or animals, but it is for fleas.  I cant see why it would cause any harm to a cat with a urinary problem.
