"Hey look Fin, I bought us a Furminator!"
"Looks like a fur puller, and it doesn't look like a Furminator."
"Well, okay I got the generic, but I think it's pretty much the same thing..."
"Cheap!"
"What did you say?"
"Nothing. Do you know what you're doing with that thing? Did you read the directions, cause I'm not letting you touch me with that thing till you do."
"How hard can it be? Okay, okay, I'll read them... not on the head... not on legs... must be a shedding breed-"
"Wait, go back, how do you know I'm a shedding breed?"
"Are you kidding Fin, have you seen yourself? Of course you're a shedding breed!"
"I think you better look it up. I'll be hiding in the closet."
Your post made us laff, as we are often touted as non-shedding (but we do, it's just very short furrs). We have a real Furminator at work but have never gotten the piles of fur off cats as they advertise. If I was you...I'd lay low too!
ReplyDeleteI actually like being Furminated! It seems to really work for me.
ReplyDeleteDeli hates it though.
She will get the hang of the feel of it quickly then you are in for the treat of your life, Fin! We hope you like it, we love our Furminator!
ReplyDeleteOoh, the "staff" here love to be Furminated - it's like getting a backscratch all over - and less hair for the floor and the couch!
ReplyDeleteFin, this could be the end of hairballs as you know it!
ReplyDeleteFin, give it a try. We love it...ok, my momma and I squirm a lot when we get furminated, but everyone else loves it...especially Bennette and Madison, our short furred family. I'm pretty sure you qualify as a shedding breed !!! Ha!!
ReplyDeleteWe're looking forward to a photo of the pile of floof that came off of you!!
Mummy hasn't Furminated us yet 'cos it's cold here, but she's dying to try it out.
ReplyDeleteI think you'll feel a lot cooler in the hot weather once you've had it done. Plus, you'll look even more gorgeous!
hahah oh noes Fin don't you leave the closet, something that can't be used on the head or the legs scares the wits outta mez! hehe
ReplyDeleteV-V
I'm with Victor! Stay in the closet! Anything that steal your floof and can't be used on the head or legs is worth hiding from.
ReplyDeleteOh dear Fin!! You better stay in the closet for awhile!! I wouldn't let my mom Furminate me!
ReplyDeleteMom says she thought all cats were shedding breeds except for the hairless ones.
ReplyDeleteObviously though a long fur like you would need one a lot more than Niko with his short tiny furs or even me with my medium furs.

If you happen to have an old vinyl table cloth I suggest using it to catch the furs on. If you lay it flannel side up and then put your kittie on top of it, the furs stick to the flannel and doesn't go floating around your house as you furminate. I wish I had a video camera because its hilaious when I get the thing out. You can almost hear them shouting "me first, no me!
ReplyDeleteI do not like the sound of this generic furminator. I would stay in the closet if I was you Fin.
ReplyDeleteHuffle Mawson
ACK! Find your best Hidey Hole and refuse to come out, Fin!
ReplyDeleteMom says as long as we have fur, we are of the shedding breed...... silly mom!
ReplyDeleteFIN STAY IN THE CLOSET!
ReplyDeleteSTAY THERE UNTIL YOU HAVE EVIDENCE THE EVIL FURMINATOR IS IN THE BIN.
I will not be furminated. I hate it. Have seen less horrible devices in medievel torture chambers. Ask your Mommy to use it on herself and see how SHE likes it.
Outrageous.
*sneaks some roast chicken in to Fin's closet*
Wuudles.
We'd hide too! These tools can be dangermouse in the paws of the inexperienced!
ReplyDeleteI love to shed - especially this time of year...Happy Furmination. FAZ
ReplyDeleteWe have got a furminator and we both love it, even Flynn who didn't used to like being groomed. Mum always zoom groomed us regularly, but the first time she furminated me, she could have made a whole new Eric. I used to get furballs at least twice a week but I have only had three or four since Christmas.
ReplyDeleteEric
Shedding is our birthright! We loves to do it.
ReplyDeleteI would stay away from that fur pulling contraption.
ReplyDelete--JB
Sounds scary to us, even though some kitties apparently love it. We don't like change! None of us iz longy-hair kitties though, it may be really good for you. But we'd still say to stay in the closet or another good hidey place.
ReplyDeletePurrs and hugs,
The Kitty Krew
The furminator is the best! I love it
ReplyDeleteHmmm, that thing sounds suspect to me, too. Especially the words of wisdom "...must be a shedding breed."
ReplyDeleteSounds like Fin and Dante are of like mind! Doesn't like those de-matting brushes at all. I get my husband to brush him, so he can take all the blame.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should try the same with yours in order to keep Fin on your good side!
We Russians are a hypo-allergenic breed. Is that the same fing ??
ReplyDeleteI agree.I would AVOID the fing at all costs.
Hehehe.
ReplyDeletePoor Fin. Maybe she'd like the vacuum more? Haha. I know once I introduced my old kitty, C80 to the vacuum she was happy to take on the comb. :P
Come on, Fin! You'll love it!
ReplyDeleteIt is always the kitties that need it the most that hate it the most - our house is the same way! Luckily I can use the furminator on the other kitties, and then just sneak over to Floyd every once in a while when he is asleep. You may want to watch out Fin - that could be something your mom tries - getting you while you sleep!
ReplyDeletecheap or expensive, name brand or not, I do NOT like being brushed.
ReplyDeleteI've heard other cats like their ferminator so maybe you will too. If not, hide under the bed until it gets put back in the drawer!
Oh poor you, Finney...:-( I´ve ordered a furminator for Mathilda and Theodor now, so I guess they will be in hiding pretty soon.....
ReplyDeleteI left a nasty hairball this morning and the first thing momma said was '' We are buying a Furminator''
ReplyDeleteShould I be scared?
We're thankful we're the (almost) non-shedding kinds. We get brushed with a glove with rubber studs. Nice.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should show Fin a picture of a sphynx cat? :-)
