Oh you're not alone in this. I feel awful as well about 2 of my cats. Chewie just has tons of fur, he's huge. But his hair is short and so very thick. Tink is my senior citizen, she's 18 and kind of long hair. She's so frail and not all that well.

I took Chewie to my vet once and they were amazed at the number of bags they filled with his fur!

Tink's are very matted and it hurts her for me to comb her so I'm in the same dilemma.

I'm very, very curious about the Furminator. You see them in pet shops and well lots of other places as well. They are expensive! I'm very tempted to try one. It looks like they have several types of products including a waterless shampoo conditioner for cats.
