This review is from: Safari® Cat Bristle Brush (Misc.)
The brush is much smaller than I expected. Instead of being the described “1.5 x 3.2 x 9 inches” – it is instead just 1 1/2 inches x 1 3/8 x 6 1/4 inches. It’s child-size – about half the size described. Someone with large hands won’t be able to use it. I have small (male) hands, and it is swallowed in mine. – I now understand the review that complained about the length of the handle, which I didn’t understand before ordering.
It should be noted that the only favorable reviews refer to use with kittens. For adult cats with an adult fur coat, it is worthless. The ultra-soft bristles won’t penetrate into the fur and it won’t brush anything out of my cat’s fur. – And that’s in addition to the TINY ridiculous size. I have tossed it out.

I wanted a soft brush to use on my aged cat that didn’t pull her hair or hurt her like the wire brushes would. This brush only gets the surface hairs but is soft enough that I can brush her for hours and she just falls asleep (and she usually doesn’t like to be brushed). So I would recommend to anyone with similar circumstances, but not if you’re wanting to get a deep coat brushing.

This brush is very solid and durable. The bristles stay in place and the wood body is strong enough to withstand the constant biting and teething that our cats inflict on it — they treat it roughly (like a toy), after they get groomed. The bottom line is that it gets the job done. For our longer-haired cat, we have to groom her more firmly, in order to get the more deeply embedded particles and debris removed. But, she seems to actually enjoy it — I guess it must be similar to a massage. Overall, this brush is effective and very reasonable for the price. The only negative is that the length of the brush is closer to 6.25″, versus the advertised 9″. This was not a major factor to us. The brush head dimensions are pretty accurate. We liked this brush enough (for the low price) to buy a second one.
