Thank you for this. My long haired part Persian cat not only gets matted and HATES being groomed (which is why he GETS matted) but he is also a biter. A saber-tooted, puncture creating, blood drawing biter. Just found this mat and tangle remover at Chewy for $8.86 and going to order one. Fingers crossed it works plus wanted to advise anyone watching where I found it since some of the older comments indicated viewers were having trouble finding this item. Your video was great and I am so glad I found it!!! THANK YOU!! P.S. I also saw a vet video that recommended (prior to beginning your grooming session) using a small amount of coconut oil, rubbed into your hand/fingers in order to warm it up, and then gently massaging it at the root of the mat which loosens it up at the skin's surface and makes it easier to remove.
I want to thank you for this. My cat was badly matted, and I’ve been trying to find the best way to comb her. I found your video, and decided to get the Four Paws tangle remover, based on your recommendation that it was amazing. I’m in the EU - there were NONE of these to be found anywhere. All the places that used to sell them in the US no longer had them, and Four Paws apparently now makes something different and no longer makes the one in your video. I finally found ONE, in California! While the mat remover was only about $8, the shipping to me was $25...lol. I didn’t care - I bought it, and I’m GLAD that I did. This thing is almost like magic, and is so superior to all of the other things I’ve tried. I don’t understand why they don’t make it anymore. Anyway, thanks very much for your recommendation. This truly is the holy grail of mat removers! Edit: I saw your video originally about one month ago, and had to come back here again to thank you for posting.....
THANK YOU!!!!!!!! OMG I just got my Four Paws Magic Coat Instant Mat Removing Comb. 30 seconds, it took 30 seconds to de-mat my poor cat who has had matted fur ever since this pandemic and all grooming places are closed or won't take cats. Now my cat is happy and I don't feel like a terrible cat owner. Thank You!!!!
Your comment would seem less like a product plug from the company itself if you didn't use the whole name or referred to the brush as "it". However, I find myself being very picky/anal and feeling the need to state a full and exact name of whatever I'm talking about. Just be aware that both you and I can potentially sound weird, or can take impact away from our most likely selfless points to prob aly help others, when we do that.
This tool IS the holy grail of mat deshedders. I found that if you hold the mat at the base of the mat ,and move through the fur but DO NOT PULL but break apart the mat with the deshedder it works great. Also apply olive oil to the mat at the base of the mat and on the adjoining skin, Leave it until the next day then" 1 day use this tool and if you do the same thing on day 2 and day 5 you can dematt even a badly matted Persian or other long haired kitty that hates grooming. I give my girl a treat when we are done. I also do not expect her to "last " beyond 20-30 min even though you are not hurining her at all with this method they just can't handle the stress and being "restrained ". If you purchase a kitty with long fur socialize them to grooming immediately or you and kitty will struggle forever with grooming. Also if kitty is really stressed use Rescue Remedy(OTC herbal ) -follow the package instructions they are simple and excellent.
Three Rag Doll cats totally agree with your conclusion! Along with the “Steamy Brush” the V brush is the best brush we have ever used. Two of our cats hated to be brushed and now they at least tolerate it.😸😸😸❤️
That's so awesome!! I just about ordered one and came here first to find out what works and isn't painful for my girl!! It's not expensive either and I put it on my Amazon wish list! Thanks so much and you're cat is adorable!
Took your recommendation! Totally works! I ordered one and used it on my matted kitty. Takes some patience but she now looks forward to our “ beauty sessions”. I’ve ordered another for a friend whose cat develops matts too. Thank you for your video.
I've tried variations of the first 2 products you talk about and had the same experience. The mat remover with the long blades I did not even want to attempt. I'm ordering a Four Paws mat remover. Fingers crossed.
Did you know a little bit of kids detangle spray GV walmart brand works wonders on cat n dog we have a American Eskimo n she gets ear knots n tail knots !!
Thanks- I want to try that. I can use a curved blade autoclave to clip mat clumps but I need to bunch the fur into it to be sure to not cut skin. I can't get her chest fur at all lately and its a big mat. I need something I can use with one hand and hold her from attacking with other. Does that thing just pop out the clump by combing action?
i have had this exact issue with my persian ragdoll he hates every brush and runs from them almost except the normal ones i just ordered it going to try it out
Going to see if I can find this in a minute. Fingers crossed it works. We have a siamese mix and she was obviously very well taken care of before she ended up with us and I want to keep her looking and feeling like the queen that she is. I know I sound like an idiot lol but we just love her to bits and the best part is she actually LIKES being brushed! Not for hours or anything but she will definitely tolerate it 5 or so minutes at least and several times a day but I let her let me know when she's had enough. And I noticed her first mat tonight since she's been with us so was looking for a way to try and get it out with as little pain as possible and came across this. She was ok with me gently brushing it with a slicker brush but that isn't doing anything and the last thing I want to do is ruin a good thing and have her go running anytime I pick up a brush or comb. Wish me luck.
Thankyou for your upload. I have tried every comb/brush/de-matting tool, but not seen this so hoping its going to work for my very grumpy old Persian who turns into a demon when brushed especially if she gets matts lol! Just ordered from Amazon so will let you know how I find it fingers crossed 🐱🐈🐱
Boy, wish I could agree with you….have 2 persian kittens and they have the weirdest cotton candy fur…..I brush them everyday but matts are still a problem……tried this comb….used all the suggested techniques and still had difficulty removing them and pulling still a problem……trying a few other brushes to find my holy grail….
Nice product explanation, I just got a long haired Tuxedo kitten and he has bad mats behind his ears. I have been looking at combs and cutters for 2 days....
Thank YOU~! My cat is a total Jekyl and Hyde when I try to brush him to get matts out because you can tell he knows I'm trying to help him as he's growling at me cause he doesn't like it prolly because it's pulling and hurting him :*( Ordered this new brush already, appreciate you sharing~! and caring.
I need to try this for my ragdoll. I love his thick long coat and dont' want to cut out a mat or shave him anywhere he's so gorgeous as is. thank you for the review.
I was looking for the instructions in the "holy grail" of de-matters that I just ordered and received, when I came across your video. My cat is a Siamese mix with a whole lot of undercoat. I haven't found a brush, rake, or anything, that worked and didn't cause her a lot of stress and pain. I used a trimmer which looked horrible when I was done and had areas that looked bald. A few other times I had to trim the mats out. They are close to her skin and I didn't want to cut her. I'll let you know how it goes.
Yeah I tried that but I need someone to hold him still even when hes sleepy. I can't stand to hear him cry a little while I'm trying to do it myself. So I spend the $40.00 to go to the groomers, now my problem is to get rid of his "bad breath", never had a cat that had this problem, next trip is to the vets to find out why.
I hear ya....I’ve had to do the same now and again. Now I try to brush him softly with a brush while he is sleepy....if I feel a knot usually under his arm pits...then I sneak in the comb and get it out...then straight back to his face for brushing which he likes.
Thank you for this vid !!!! First time owning long haired cat of my own and he has some really good Matt’s on his butt and armpits but now I can go look for the comb!
+Blue Royal and I seriously think I have bought every one! The key for me is brushing every day. Ollie hates brushing, but I do one minute here, one minute there...good luck!
+Blue Royal totally understand! Believe me, I have tried EVERYTHING! I even tried more than what was in the video. Heck I even bought a cat straight jacket! This comb works. Just work the nots out a little at a time. Let me know how it works for you!
Rebecca Meyer Just received the comb, does seem to be very high quality for only 6.00. Of course my turkeys don't like to be brushed for very long at a time either, but it does seem like it will work well! Thanks again!
If you have a long hair cat, you need to buy a pair of cat clippers and a furminator grooming brush. Using the furminator will remove that loose dead fur. Don’t baby your cat and ignore it, unless you want matts.
DAMN IT! You sound like me! I believe ElCucho got pissed 😤 off because I took him to house sit. Then the mats came back, at my Friend’s house he was able to sleep on her bed. Able to throw her collectibles, he is deaf from early abuse. So, therefore he LOVES vibrations exploding things make. That’s why he has full reign of the outer room. Everything is kept behind glass, I had another abused female. She was Beautiful 😻 Sweet, and loved 🥰 porcelain and glass. So, Sissy was wonderful in the bedroom. She went into renal failure 3 weeks shy of her 19th Birthday. That was 10 months ago the 28th of June. You appear to have the same amount of combs, brushes as I did. NOTHING, NOTHING works I took him for his yearly check up. The tech was told to electric razor his mats. He looks HORRIBLE! She left half of his mats. Any comb, advice, where I can buy what works for you will be greatly appreciated. 1:16 so I will SHUT UP and continue with your video. We are both desperate!
Just got mine, I barely used any pressure, I used it for 10 seconds, and my wimpy little cat was hurting and yelling. Now she's hiding... bummer. For smaller more delicate cats, this thing is brutal.
I haven’t bought a tool yet, but I’ve seen in videos people holding the skin down where they’re combing. Did you try that maybe? Hope you find something that works!
You didnt actually show any mat removing. My 19 year old will not be contained or held down in any way. She will immediately scratch and bite. She is very sweet but lived most of her life outside until I rescued her. It is so difficult to find someone who knows how to really remove mats especially on difficult cats who cannot be sedated.
I had one of those. Nope. I use my fingers to un-swirl mats at the base, near skin. My cats sleep while I groom! Took me 3 years to learn. No more scratches from my 'teachers' so I know I'm helping them not hurting them. I think your review is biased...your cat doesn't like the matbreaker.
Why must our fur babies be so difficult??? I am going to try the comb as we have a long haired bratty feline who has a number of mats on her back and butt! She's NOT my cat; she is my daughter's! Not sure how in God's name she got these mats but she absolutely HATES just the sound of the clippers! I'd shave her bald and start over if she would let me!! Fingers crossed that this works; otherwise, she will have to go to the vet and be shaved under some sedation I think!!! How ridiculous would that be to have to pay for that to happen!!!
Patricia Wyda I’ve paid my fair share to the vet for sedation too! Now I trick Ollie a bit...I start with the human “wet brush” (it’s a brand) on his face. He likes his face brushed...then I sneak in the matting brush...it’s a process just have patience.
Joe Smith lol 😂 nope. Just complete frustration brushing a cat who hates to be groomed. Just bought the same brush again. It actually works. But I sure wish I did get paid!
Thank you for this. My long haired part Persian cat not only gets matted and HATES being groomed (which is why he GETS matted) but he is also a biter. A saber-tooted, puncture creating, blood drawing biter. Just found this mat and tangle remover at Chewy for $8.86 and going to order one. Fingers crossed it works plus wanted to advise anyone watching where I found it since some of the older comments indicated viewers were having trouble finding this item. Your video was great and I am so glad I found it!!! THANK YOU!!
P.S. I also saw a vet video that recommended (prior to beginning your grooming session) using a small amount of coconut oil, rubbed into your hand/fingers in order to warm it up, and then gently massaging it at the root of the mat which loosens it up at the skin's surface and makes it easier to remove.

bobnebdub29288 fish23 that awesome 👏 so good!

Purchased a low vibrating electric shaver to remove mats. Less stress on both pet & groomer.
Three Rag Doll cats totally agree with your conclusion! Along with the “Steamy Brush” the V brush is the best brush we have ever used. Two of our cats hated to be brushed and now they at least tolerate it.😸😸😸❤️
I used this mat remover on my father's beard. It worked so well, he didn't even wake up!
You what now? 😂
Omg hahah
Thank you for this! I need something for by hair so knowing that you tried it on a human helps me out a lot!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's so awesome!! I just about ordered one and came here first to find out what works and isn't painful for my girl!! It's not expensive either and I put it on my Amazon wish list! Thanks so much and you're cat is adorable!

OMG your kitty is soooo cute! Thanks for the comb tip...my long haired tuxedo will hopefully thank you soon.
Awww. Wait till you get it! It’s like a miracle comb!
Did you know a little bit of kids detangle spray GV walmart brand works wonders on cat n dog we have a American Eskimo n she gets ear knots n tail knots !!

i have had this exact issue with my persian ragdoll he hates every brush and runs from them almost except the normal ones i just ordered it going to try it out
Yay this comb will back in stock Jan 25!! I pre-ordered mine. Thank you for this review video!
Lord where was this video before I just spent $20 on a comb
Lol me too
Thanks, trying this out. It's this or shaving.
Going to see if I can find this in a minute. Fingers crossed it works. We have a siamese mix and she was obviously very well taken care of before she ended up with us and I want to keep her looking and feeling like the queen that she is. I know I sound like an idiot lol but we just love her to bits and the best part is she actually LIKES being brushed!

Wish me luck.
How is this different then the first comb, genuine question, as I have the first two and don’t love them but I’m not sure how this is different?
I watched a video where they used olive oil on matte’s. I put a little bit on my cat’s and two days later her’s fell off!!
Thankyou for your upload. I have tried every comb/brush/de-matting tool, but not seen this so hoping its going to work for my very grumpy old Persian who turns into a demon when brushed especially if she gets matts lol! Just ordered from Amazon so will let you know how I find it fingers crossed 🐱🐈🐱
so... did it work?
I got this and tried it, but it didnt work for me. My cat wont lay still long enough to do it, I guess I will have to get my vet to do it.
Great help! Considering getting it for my car to help with all the mats.
+Tristan lol thanks Tristan!
+Tristan thanks! Lol
Boy, wish I could agree with you….have 2 persian kittens and they have the weirdest cotton candy fur…..I brush them everyday but matts are still a problem……tried this comb….used all the suggested techniques and still had difficulty removing them and pulling still a problem……trying a few other brushes to find my holy grail….
does this work better than the furmenator?
thank you so much - will give this a try
So what is it called and where can we buy it????
Recently got Persians cats and Himalayan cats , yours is so cute!
Great. Thank You for taking the time to make this video
Nice product explanation, I just got a long haired Tuxedo kitten and he has bad mats behind his ears. I have been looking at combs and cutters for 2 days....
This one is the best by far.
Thanks. I might use that after I get the giant mats out.
Where do you get that comb?
Thank YOU~! My cat is a total Jekyl and Hyde when I try to brush him to get matts out because you can tell he knows I'm trying to help him as he's growling at me cause he doesn't like it prolly because it's pulling and hurting him :*( Ordered this new brush already, appreciate you sharing~! and caring.
Good advice. Cat skin is very thin. Easy to tear. The one you recommend is a safe option.
I need to try this for my ragdoll. I love his thick long coat and dont' want to cut out a mat or shave him anywhere he's so gorgeous as is. thank you for the review.
I just recently grabbed the brush again. It works soooo good!
I got it. It does work really well!
What is the name of the brush
Hi Rebecca! Great video! Where did you buy the last brush that you love?? I need it for my Himalayan 🐱 Pablo ❤️ Thanks in advanced
Thanks-- I'm getting this and hope it works!

She is right that comb is Awsome Ill never use scissors again.

Is there a non amazon place to get this?
Thank you!! It works great!!
What kind of cat is Ollie?
Thank you so much for sharing this! It works!!!!!!!!!!!
Tammy Bailey thank you for watching!
I bought this and I brushed all of my Persians terrible mats out in less than ten minutes
My cats hate to be brushed, I have to sedate them so the will behave at the groomers. Wish I didn't have to but I have no other choice.
I hear ya....I’ve had to do the same now and again. Now I try to brush him softly with a brush while he is sleepy....if I feel a knot usually under his arm pits...then I sneak in the comb and get it out...then straight back to his face for brushing which he likes.
I bought the for paws one but my cat mats are so close to skin and so huge that I'm scared to hurt her
Great video and cute cat... will check out the comb
+razzartvisual thank you so much for stopping by!
2024 and I just ordered this via the Amazon link for $7.92 for anyone just finding this video. Thanks for making it.
Thank you for this vid !!!! First time owning long haired cat of my own and he has some really good Matt’s on his butt and armpits but now I can go look for the comb!
I will try this, thanks for your video and I hope it works for my boy as well as he is much like yours.
thanks!there are so many brushes that promise good results,, but longhair cats suffers ..hope this one will work on the mots!!.
+Blue Royal and I seriously think I have bought every one! The key for me is brushing every day. Ollie hates brushing, but I do one minute here, one minute there...good luck!
Thanks! I really wish someone invent a "proper tools for cat's knots" I have a Siberian and she hates brushing!!
+Blue Royal totally understand! Believe me, I have tried EVERYTHING! I even tried more than what was in the video. Heck I even bought a cat straight jacket! This comb works. Just work the nots out a little at a time. Let me know how it works for you!
well I have to order the comb from US ,there is none in Australia.the price goes 5 times more because of postage!!
+Blue Royal oh no! They must have a similar version there!
Thank God for this product.
And now action! Show how it works! 😀
gregory morrow go to 2:38 you will see it just pulls out
beautiful cat
Thank you, hope this works, I have tried several and it gets frustrating! 🙂
+Wendy Teeter just do a little at a time. And use lots of treats while you are doing it! Let me know how it works out for you! Good luck!
Rebecca Meyer Thank you so much! I will let you know. It's funny one of my kitty's names is Ollie too.
Wendy Teeter Ollie is the best!
Rebecca Meyer Just received the comb, does seem to be very high quality for only 6.00. Of course my turkeys don't like to be brushed for very long at a time either, but it does seem like it will work well! Thanks again!
Wendy Teeter so glad to hear it...just do 1 stroke at a time if you need to...Little by Little!
If you have a long hair cat, you need to buy a pair of cat clippers and a furminator grooming brush. Using the furminator will remove that loose dead fur. Don’t baby your cat and ignore it, unless you want matts.
Oh wow!!! Would this work on severely matted human hair? I am in crisis lol
Thanks a for the awesome video
DAMN IT!
You sound like me! I believe ElCucho got pissed 😤 off because I took him to house sit.
Then the mats came back, at my Friend’s house he was able to sleep on her bed.
Able to throw her collectibles, he is deaf from early abuse.
So, therefore he LOVES vibrations exploding things make.
That’s why he has full reign of the outer room.
Everything is kept behind glass, I had another abused female.
She was Beautiful 😻 Sweet, and loved 🥰 porcelain and glass.
So, Sissy was wonderful in the bedroom.
She went into renal failure 3 weeks shy of her 19th Birthday.
That was 10 months ago the 28th of June.
You appear to have the same amount of combs, brushes as I did.
NOTHING, NOTHING works I took him for his yearly check up.
The tech was told to electric razor his mats.
He looks HORRIBLE!
She left half of his mats.
Any comb, advice, where I can buy what works for you will be greatly appreciated. 1:16 so I will SHUT UP and continue with your video.
We are both desperate!
Just got mine, I barely used any pressure, I used it for 10 seconds, and my wimpy little cat was hurting and yelling. Now she's hiding... bummer.

My cats sleep while I groom!
Took me 3 years to learn.
No more scratches from my 'teachers' so I know I'm helping them not hurting them.
I think your review is biased...your cat doesn't like the matbreaker.
can you teach me this power??
😉
Why must our fur babies be so difficult??? I am going to try the comb as we have a long haired bratty feline who has a number of mats on her back and butt! She's NOT my cat; she is my daughter's! Not sure how in God's name she got these mats but she absolutely HATES just the sound of the clippers! I'd shave her bald and start over if she would let me!! Fingers crossed that this works; otherwise, she will have to go to the vet and be shaved under some sedation I think!!! How ridiculous would that be to have to pay for that to happen!!!

Coconut oil separates the matt.
Any proof?
She removed a matt in the video, you obviously didn't watch it.
@@pat4005 Skipped through it. must have skipped 2:01-2:20.
very informative, just turn down the music so I can actually hear you, OK
Thanks for the advice, but it would have been nice to actually see it in action.
Music is loud.
NEED so bad!
My common sense tells me this is BS and you're getting paid to say it amazing.
Joe Smith lol 😂 nope. Just complete frustration brushing a cat who hates to be groomed. Just bought the same brush again. It actually works. But I sure wish I did get paid!
you kind of remind me of sandra bullock
Lol never hear that! Thanks though! Made my night!
HELP!
Lol what’s wrong??
Thats not a matt remover. Its just a comb.
Those were knots. That was not matted fur. What B.S.
This tool did nothing for my cat. It was a waste of money. At least Rebecca got her affiliate commission. The Hartz version of the brush DID work.
which brush?
