The first time I adopted a long-haired cat, I had a difficult time keeping him free of mats. It took months, but I finally found brushes that worked for his thick fur. I also learned a lot about cat brushes and the importance of brushing your cat, whether short-haired or long-haired.<\/p>\n<p>In this guide, we\u2019ll discuss 12 different cat brushes and deshedding tools, which fur types they work best on, and how to choose the best brush or deshedding tool for your cat.<\/p>\n<h2>At a Glance: Best Cat Brushes &amp; Deshedding Tools<\/h2>\n    <style>\n

them free of mats. Matted fur is painful, especially when it occurs close to the skin. Severe matting can also cause bruising, skin infections, and other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vet.cornell.edu\/departments-centers-and-institutes\/cornell-feline-health-center\/health-information\/feline-health-topics\/feline-skin-diseases\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">skin problems<\/a>. Mats also provide a place for debris and even pests to hide out.<\/p>\n<p>Brushing also distributes your cat\u2019s natural oils throughout the coat and skin. Brushing double-coated cats is especially important as it removes loose undercoat, allowing the cat\u2019s coat to properly insulate them from winter cold and keep them cool in the summer by allowing air flow to the skin.<\/p>\n<p>As an added benefit for humans, brushing removes shedding hair, which means less shed hair around the house and on your clothes. Removing loose hair also helps to cut down on hairballs.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Trust Cats.com<\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019ve tested many brushes since adopting my first cats more than 16 years ago. With seven cats myself, I know every cat has a different coat type and personal preferences. This article covers a range of brushes, even non-traditional picks like grooming gloves.<\/p>\n<p>I tested each brush with at least three cats in my household. Every applicable brush was used on both short-haired and long-haired cats to see which coat types it could handle. I also evaluated my own comfort while using the brush, how my cats felt about it, and how much hair it collected.<\/p>\n<h2>Top Picks Explained<\/h2>\n<p>This article has been updated with some new brushes and grooming tools. However, we still love Mallory\u2019s picks from the video.<\/p>\n<p><iframe data-cliversesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dZ8HW79uuIw\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Top 12 Best Cat Brushes and Deshedding Tools<\/h2>\n<p>Our rankings are determined by a variety of factors.

I also found it difficult to remove fur from the center of the brush.<\/p>\n<h3>What We Liked<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"pro\">\n<li>Covered bristles great for sensitive skin<\/li>\n<li>Comfortable to hold<\/li>\n<li>Affordable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What We Didn&#8217;t Like<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"con\">\n<li>Small size means it takes a while to brush larger cats<\/li>\n<li>Difficult to completely remove fur from the brush<\/li>\n<li>Pulls at thick and long fur<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"su-row card-review catscom-card-review cliverse-buttons-fixing\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"product-review-heading\">#3<\/span> Best for Long-Haired Cats: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/GoPets-Professional-Bristle-Grooming-Shedding\/dp\/B0132D485E\/?tag=best-cat-brush-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\">GoPets Professional Double-Sided Pin &amp; Bristle Brush<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-103155 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/GoPets-Professional-Double-Sided-Pin-Bristle-Brush.jpg\" alt=\"GoPets Professional Double-Sided Pin &amp; Bristle Brush\" width=\"412\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/GoPets-Professional-Double-Sided-Pin-Bristle-Brush.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/GoPets-Professional-Double-Sided-Pin-Bristle-Brush-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/GoPets-Professional-Double-Sided-Pin-Bristle-Brush-60x60.jpg 60w, https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/GoPets-Professional-Double-Sided-Pin-Bristle-Brush-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 412px) 100vw, 412px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"cliverse-card-buttons links-wrap links-amz\">\n                                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/GoPets-Professional-Bristle-Grooming-Shedding\/dp\/B0132D485E\/?tag=best-cat-brush-20\" class=\"cats-btn pfs-shortcode pfs_product_price_button not-per_measure not-per_day\" data-upc=\"787421391985\" data-price=\"$29.99 At Amazon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$29.99 At Amazon<\/a>\n                        \n<\/div>\n<p>I will always recommend a pin brush for long-haired cats.

This prevents the common issue where the top of the coat looks thoroughly brushed, but there are mats hidden closer to the skin.<\/p>\n\n        \n        <script>\n            window.addEventListener(\"galleryScriptLoaded\", function(event) {\n                var postGallerySwiper = new Swiper(\".post-gallery-swiper-wrap-98262-103153-103154 .post-gallery-swiper\", {\n                    spaceBetween: 15,\n                    loop: true,\n                    pagination: {\n                        el: \".post-gallery-swiper-wrap-98262-103153-103154 .swiper-pagination\",\n                        clickable: false,\n                    },\n                    navigation: {\n                        nextEl: \".post-gallery-swiper-wrap-98262-103153-103154 .swiper-button-next\",\n                        prevEl: \".post-gallery-swiper-wrap-98262-103153-103154 .swiper-button-prev\",\n                    }\n                });\n            });\n        <\/script>\n        <div class=\"post-gallery-swiper-wrap post-gallery-swiper-wrap-98262-103153-103154\">\n            <div class=\"swiper post-gallery-swiper post-gallery-swiper\">\n                <div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n                                            <div class=\"swiper-slide gallery-caption\">\n                                                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Gopets_3-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"GoPets Professional Double-Sided Pin & Bristle Brush\"\/>\n                                                            <p id=\"caption-attachment-98262\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Katelynn Sobus \/ Cats.com<\/p>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"swiper-slide gallery-caption\">\n                                                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/GoPets-Professional-Double-Sided-Pin-Bristle-Brush-compressed.jpg\" alt=\"GoPets Professional Double-Sided Pin & Bristle Brush\"\/>\n                                                            <p id=\"caption-attachment-103153\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Katelynn Sobus \/ Cats.com<\/p>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"swiper-slide gallery-caption\">\n                                                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Gopets_2-compressed.jpg\" alt=\"GoPets Professional Double-Sided Pin & Bristle Brush\"\/>\n                                                            <p id=\"caption-attachment-103154\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Katelynn Sobus \/ Cats.com<\/p>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                <div class=\"swiper-button-next\"><\/div>\n                <div class=\"swiper-button-prev\"><\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"swiper-pagination\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n\n        \n<p>The GoPets double-sided pin and bristle brush is great for cats that struggle with being brushed. You can desensitize them using the bristle brush, then move onto the pin brush as they get comfortable. The bristle brush can also be used to dust away debris from the top of the coat or shine the coat after brushing.<\/p>\n<p>This is a large brush but my smaller cats didn\u2019t mind it, and it worked very well for my 20-pound cat. The extra length is helpful when he tries to swat playfully at me as I brush his stomach. The one thing I disliked about this brush was that it didn\u2019t contain the fur well. The handle seemed to attract the fur, which meant that I had to stop brushing to gather it up.<\/p>\n<h3>What We Liked<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"pro\">\n<li>Pin brush detangles fur and prevents matting<\/li>\n<li>Large, comfortable handle<\/li>\n<li>Good for desensitizing cats to brushing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What We Didn&#8217;t Like<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"con\">\n<li>Might be too large for tiny cats<\/li>\n<li>Doesn\u2019t contain fur well<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"su-row card-review catscom-card-review cliverse-buttons-fixing\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"product-review-heading\">#4<\/span> Best Slicker Brush: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08PDQXF57\/?tag=best-cat-brush-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\">Hertzko Self-Cleaning Slicker Brush<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-103143 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Hertzko-Self-Cleaning-Slicker-Brush.jpg\" alt=\"Hertzko Self-Cleaning Slicker Brush\" width=\"384\" height=\"397\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"cliverse-card-buttons links-wrap links-amz\">\n                                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08PDQXF57\/?tag=best-cat-brush-20\" class=\"cats-btn pfs-shortcode pfs_product_price_button not-per_measure not-per_day\" data-upc=\"none\" data-price=\"$15.99 At Amazon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$15.99 At Amazon<\/a>\n                        \n<\/div>\n<p>I tested this brush on multiple short-haired and long-haired cats with great results.

If you\u2019re concerned about the size of the brush, Chewy does offer a smaller version on the product page, but Amazon only offers the regular size.

The flexibility of the gloves allow them to reach tough areas, like beneath a cat\u2019s armpits, easily, though I don\u2019t think the spikes are long enough to reach down to the skin and prevent matting in these places.<\/p>\n<p>Many of my cats seemed to prefer the gloves to a normal brush, and I think they would work well to ease reluctant cats into being brushed. You could even use them as the sole brush for short-haired cats.<\/p>\n<h3>What We Liked<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"pro\">\n<li>Comfortable to wear<\/li>\n<li>Effectively removes fur<\/li>\n<li>Easy to clean if your cat is short-haired<\/li>\n<li>Sold in five sizes from junior to extra large<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What We Didn&#8217;t Like<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"con\">\n<li>Longer fur sticks to the glove, making cleanup longer<\/li>\n<li>Doesn\u2019t reach down to the skin on cats with longer hair<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"su-row card-review catscom-card-review cliverse-buttons-fixing\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"product-review-heading\">#9<\/span> Best for Removing Mats: <a href=\"https:\/\/chewy.sjv.io\/c\/1397719\/3054490\/32975?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.chewy.com%2Ffrisco-dematting-double-sided-dog-cat%2Fdp%2F233475\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\">Frisco Dematting Double-Sided Rake<\/a><\/h2>\n<div class=\"cliverse-card-buttons links-wrap links-amz\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-103158 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Frisco-Dematting-Double-Sided-Dog-Rake.png\" alt=\"Frisco Dematting Double-Sided Dog Rake\" width=\"250\" height=\"437\" \/><\/p>\n                                <a href=\"https:\/\/chewy.sjv.io\/c\/1397719\/3054490\/32975?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.chewy.com%2Ffrisco-dematting-double-sided-dog-cat%2Fdp%2F233475\" class=\"cats-btn pfs-shortcode pfs_product_price_button not-per_measure not-per_day\" data-upc=\"none\" data-price=\"$10.49 At Chewy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$10.49 At Chewy<\/a>\n                        \n<\/div>\n<p>Dematting rakes work well to work out small mats in your cat\u2019s fur.

However, many reviews praise its ability to remove mats. It did remove a lot of fur from my long-haired cat, Grumpy. I imagine that, like deshedding tools, the blades can damage the undercoat if overused. I only brushed him for a short period for testing purposes and highly recommend switching to a pin brush or comb once mats have been worked out.<\/p>\n<p>If your cat is heavily matted, please see an experienced cat groomer or veterinarian rather than trying to solve the problem at home.

I like to begin with a slicker and move on to a pin brush and comb to ensure all of the tangles are removed.<\/p>\n<p>Slicker brushes are popular for good reason, and most cats enjoy them. Some cats don\u2019t like the scratchiness of the wire pins, but purchasing a brush with small beads at the end of each pin solves this problem.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Self-Cleaning Brushes<\/h3>\n<p>Self-cleaning brushes are good for ease of use, for cats that don\u2019t tolerate long brushing sessions, and for those that like to run circles around the room while you brush them. (Or is that just my cat?) A press of a button removes the fur from the brush, allowing you to keep moving quickly. Most self-cleaning brushes on the market are slicker brushes.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Deshedding Tools<\/h3>\n<p>Deshedding tools are best for cats with thick hair and best used during your cat\u2019s shedding season in the spring and fall. Using a deshedding tool to remove your cat\u2019s undercoat will help stop mats from forming and will allow airflow through the coat so that it can function properly and keep your cat cool in the summer. Their blades can remove too much undercoat if overused, however, so it\u2019s best to only go over each area a few times.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Pin Brushes<\/h3>\n<p>Pin brushes typically have wider-spaced bristles than slicker brushes and have pins at the end of their bristles. This makes them more comfortable for some cats, but also less effective at collecting all of their shed fur. Best used on long-haired cats, these brushes can remove slight tangles in the fur to prevent mats from building up in the coat. Their longer bristles are also more effective at brushing down to the skin than slicker brushes.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Combs<\/h3>\n<p>Combs are for long-haired cats, especially those with very long and thick fur, to prevent mats from developing. Not all long-haired cats will need to be combed, but those who do will need it done regularly. Remember to never try to comb through mats in the coat as this will hurt your cat and make them dislike being brushed. If your cat has small mats a good distance from the skin, they can be removed with a dematting tool.<br \/>\nIf your cat has large mats close to the skin, you\u2019ll need to visit a groomer with cat experience or a veterinarian who can safely shave their fur. Please do not try cutting or shaving mats from your cat yourself, as without experience, you might cause severe injuries.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Dematting Tools<\/h3>\n<p>Dematting tools have rounded edges to protect your cat\u2019s skin and sharp blades on the inside to cut away mats in the coat. Dematting tools should only be used on small mats that aren\u2019t too close to the skin. Please keep in mind that these tools must be used carefully and slowly. Brushing too fast can pull at your cat\u2019s skin, which might already be sore from the matting.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Grooming Gloves<\/h3>\n<p>Grooming gloves are great for cats that dislike brushing but enjoy being petted. You simply put them on your hand and pet your cat as normal, while the soft spikes on the fingers and palm of the glove brush through your cat\u2019s coat. Use them to desensitize any cat to grooming or to brush your short-haired cat. Keep in mind that long-haired cats usually need a longer brush or comb to brush down to the skin and prevent matting.<\/p>\n<h3>8. Ubber Brushes<\/h3>\n<p>Rubber brushes are comfortable against your cat\u2019s skin and effectively remove fur. They don\u2019t tend to contain the fur well, which means it\u2019ll end up all over your carpet by the time you\u2019re done brushing. The benefit of this type of brush compared to others is that some cats find it more comfortable. If your cat is afraid of brushes, rubber ones may be different enough for them to tolerate.<\/p>\n<h3>9. Self-Grooming Brushes<\/h3>\n<p>Self-grooming brushes are brushes that attach to your walls or furniture and allow your cat to groom themselves. While this sounds good in theory, it does have its limitations. Like most things you buy for your cat, they seem to be hit or miss\u2014some cats like them, and others ignore them entirely. They also don\u2019t brush your cat\u2019s entire body as effectively as you can yourself.<\/p>\n<h3>10. Bristle Brushes<\/h3>\n<p>Bristle brushes can be used to dust light debris from the fur or to distribute your cat\u2019s natural oils so that their coat looks sleek and shiny. They aren\u2019t meant to detangle or de-shed. These brushes tend to have soft bristles that are comfortable and feel similar to being pet; they don\u2019t reach all the way down to the skin. They\u2019re great for desensitization or bonding with your cat.<\/p>\n<h3>Relevant Content:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/how-to-bathe-a-cat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How To Bathe A Cat (A Step-by-Step Guide)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/how-to-trim-cat-nails\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How To Trim Cat Nails<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n            <style>\n                .cliverse-post-faq h3{\n                    position: relative;\n                    background: #FFFFFF;\n                    box-shadow: 0px 9px 26px rgba(198, 198, 198, 0.25);\n                    border-radius: 15px;\n                    padding: 24px 110px 24px 110px;\n                    margin-bottom: 30px;\n                    transition: all 0.4s ease;\n\n                    font-weight: 700!important;\n                    font-size: 20px!important;\n                    line-height: 105.8%!important;\n                    color: #373737;\n                    cursor: pointer;\n                }\n                .cliverse-post-faq h3.active{\n                    background: #EDF1F7;\n                }\n                .cliverse-post-faq h3 .question-angle{\n                    display: flex;\n                    width: 24px;\n                    height: 24px;\n                    justify-content: center;\n                    align-items: center;\n                    position: absolute;\n                    top: calc(50% -
