To maintain the skin of our young Ragdoll and prevent matting, we bought this comb. The rotating tines are used to at the beginning, but if you yourself and your own cat who first used to it, it works very well and you can extract a lot of loose hair from the coat. The workmanship is very good, the comb is excellent in the hand and can be cleaned very facilitated by a combing round. We divert the comb occasionally for cleaning the soft hairbrush our cat - simply highlight the comb through the brush to pick up the loose hair remains from the brush.
