A few days ago, I was wasting my life visiting some of my favorite blogs and I stopped by Frogs in My Formula.  If you have never been there, go, it is a lot of fun.  Go ahead, I’ll wait… No, really, you’ll thank me.

Great, you’re back.  Aren’t you glad you listened to me?  Anyway, I discovered a review she had posted on the Furminator.  For those of you who don’t know, the Furminator is the ultimate cat brush.  Now some of you know, I have a cat.  At least, we believe he is a cat.

This photo doesn’t really do him justice.  He is larger than a typical cat, he eats more than a typical cat, but since exotic animals are illegal, we call him the cat (we also call him two-tons of love because he loves people).

Anyway, I read her review of the Furminator and decided I had to have one.  So I instant messaged (yes that does make me as big of a geek as it sounds) my husband that I had found what I want for Christmas.  I wanted a Furminator.  That night, when he came home, he was bearing a Furminator.

Now the Furminator looks extremely unimpressive up close, especially the cat version.  Here I am, trying to brush two-tons of cat with something the size of one of those baby hairbrushes that just massage the baby’s head a little.

But, the frog lady said it was good, so I thought I would give it a shot.  I started brushing and it was amazing.  Huge hunks of hair were coming out of my cat.  Here is how much I got out of the cat with one brushing…

The black pile is the cat hair, the small child is actually Joanna (she tries to horn her way into every photo, even the disgusting ball of cat hair photo).  That was just a few minutes of brushing!  I can’t wait to go after brush him again.  Now, I just need to figure out how to use my Pedi-Paws.
