Catit Self Groomer

My cat absolutely loves this brush! I placed two at different levels on a corner wall. He uses both every day! Since they get daily use, I use the screws to secure them!

I have a blind cat that is very touch sensitive. I noticed she spent a lot of time headbutting one of the corners of the square legs on my bed frame. I remembered seeing this product advertised online before and thought she would love it. At first I was a little disappointed at how long the shipping was expected to take, but I got it much earlier than originally promised. I actually attached it to my bedframe with the sticky stuff that comes with it. I wanted to nail it in but I did not have nails small enough... and I was too impatient to wait to put it up. I did not think the sticky stuff would actually work, but it's been up for a while now and has had many intense head butts from my cat and is still perfectly in place. To put it mildly, she loves this thing. It hasn't gotten much of her hair on it, but she is a shorthaired cat so that may have something to do with it. I didn't mind this at all though, and did not dock any stars for it because my reason for buying the product was to increase my cat's happiness, and not necessarily to assist with her grooming – although that would've been a plus if it did work that way. I did not put any of the catnip on the device. Because my cat is blind I was a little bit worried that she would take a while to find it, or be scared of it when she did find it. Somehow though she seemed to know exactly what it was for as soon as she touched it. Especially due to her lack of sight, I tend to worry about her not getting enough mental stimulation. So far I think this is probably the best thing I have bought for her to enrich her environment. I'm sure that sighted cats would love it just the same. Essentially, it gives them a way of getting scratches even when you're not around. And they're completely in control of it so they can get scratched exactly where they want. The grey part is actually pretty hard. At first I thought it might be a little too hard, but my cat seems to like this feature. I think if the bristles were softer they wouldn't do as good of a job scratching. The bristles need to stay stationary so the cat can get them just where he or she wants them. I apologize for any spelling or grammatical errors on my review, but I'm doing this on my phone so please forgive me. UPDATE: I am adding photos. Also, since I wrote this review, I got a new bed and moved the scratcher to a corner in the house instead. I did put screws in it this time, I think (it was a while ago) bc the sticky stuff wasn’t sticky anymore, one I took it off the bed frame. It did leave a residue on my bed from the adhesive when I removed it, but have since learned a nice trick to avoid that in situations such as this: use a piece of dental floss to slide between the adhesive and dislodge it cleanly.

I have two cats, but I ordered this specifically for a cat that loves to cuddle and would like nothing more than to lay on your chest and rub her whiskers all over your chin all day long. I was hoping that this would be comforting to her to have while I am gone at work. It didn’t work for what I wanted it to, but she still likes it and I would buy it again. Installing this is easy, it can be stuck to the wall with sticky pads or screwed onto the wall. It comes with sticky pads but no screws. I originally had planned to use the included pads but after visualizing what would happen if it unstuck from the wall and re-stuck to my cats fur, I decided to just screw it onto the wall. I does show in the directions that you can attach it to either a corner or to flat wall, but I felt a corner would work best as it gives cats more area to move around and really rub up against it. I will note that when I was installing this, the backing cracked which doesn’t affect the functionality, but I feel I should mention it as it doesn’t seem very durable. The sides of this brush can be filled with catnip, but after trying it with two types of catnip, I think I’ll stick to just spraying it with liquid catnip. The side areas to hold the catnip are very small and for the less finely ground catnip that I tried initially, it was a huge pain to get it inside and just as annoying to remove. With the finely ground catnip, it wanted to all come out of the vents. Also, it didn’t really get either of my cats more excited to rub against it anyway. After leaving this for several days, I found that my hope to give my cat something to rub against when I’m gone during the day didn’t really work out like I wanted. She doesn’t use this during the day when I’m gone, but she will use it when I’m at home and nearby. All things considered, I would call that a win. Overall, at the current price of around $5, I would recommend this to most cat owners. It’s nice to have another option for your feline friends to rub up against, especially if they happen to be the extra cuddly type. I don’t feel that this is the most durable brush, but at this price, it doesn’t need to last forever for me to feel like I got my money’s worth. I’ll update my review if it breaks.

I really wanted to like these. In fact, I bought three right off the bat. We have three cats at the moment and they all love to have their faces brushed and to rub against cabinets, etc. for the self-face-massage. This item is made of two parts. There is a hard plastic outer shell that has nail holes, an outer rim, and several hard tall ribs for structural support (I assume). Then there is the soft inner part, which is the functional element, that has the long soft spikes for face rubbing. The inner part can be folded and manipulated in order to place it under the shell's outer rim, or to remove it from the shell. The problem I encountered occurred when attempting to affix the item to the corner of a cabinet/wall. The shell structure is molded in such a way that there is no space hide enough for the head of a hammer to land. This is especially the case right near the nail holes, which have been placed just inside the rim. I tried MacGuyvering a screwdriver handle to sit atop the nail heads while I landed the hammer on the driver handle. But the space was just too tight in between the rim and the structural ribs of the shell. Even though the nails went in, and the shell was affixed to the cabinet, it was at the cost of smashing out one of the ribs and a section of the rim. Because I lost a section of the rim during installation, the inner brush part doesn't quite stay in unless I bend a couple of other nails around the edge. (Note: the item does come with some tiny pieces of double sided tape, measuring about 1/2 inch by 1/4 inch each. Just plain insufficient to keep the brush up on the wall if a cat is using it day in and day out.) Long story short: I think I am just going to nail the brush part directly to the wall next time.

Originally I bought one of these from Petco for a trial run. I figured that it was worth a couple of bucks to test it out as a hairball preventative. What a great move!! As it turned out, the Cat-It was such a hit that I ordered another one! I had accidentally mounted the first one too low so I put the second one directly above it; that configuration works out well since some like to scrape their faces on the lower one and some rub their bodies on the upper one. Also, one of our cats (Penny) is soooo all about cat brushes that she'd shove her face all over the brushes my husband keeps in the remote control caddy (convenient for brushing when they jump on his lap), so hard and so long that we were scared she'd damage herself! Now she almost never does it, so win-win! Of our four cats, one of the long-hairs (Penny obviously!) LOVES it; my husband will hear what sounds like very aggressive clawing and he'll fuss, then discover it's Penny or Tiger (short-hair) scrubbing their face -- and he'll apologize! Based on our results, I bought two of these for my grandkitties last Christmas, and they were one of my kids' favorite gifts. They also have four cats: two really like them, one doesn't care for them, and one is absolutely crazy for them! (And luckily, he's the one with the most fur!) I also bought a pair of these for my mother for Mother's Day/ her birthday. Once again, a hit! Of her two cats, one likes them and one ignores them. So out of ten cats, two are OBSESSED with them; two really *really* like them ; three use them occasionally, and three really couldn't care less. My takeaway: ▪︎Well made ▪︎HIGH cat approval! ▪︎Great price and value ▪︎Removable / cleanable bristles are a definite plus! ▪︎Channels for catnip = 100% PAWESOME (just don't let the cat knock the brush out of your hand or they'll never get out of your way! haha!) ▪︎Corner positioning is excellent for "scrubbies" However ▪︎Like other reviews state, skip the adhesives and go for nails or screws; besides being more secure, they're easier to reposition, and when you remove them it's easier to repair the wall / etc... there are even nail holes already built in! Note: Having used both nails and screws, I would highly recommend screws; it's hard to get a hammer into those small spaces without destroying the unit (I had to use a countersink), and screws are more easily repositioned or removed ▪︎Pay attention to whether your groomer is facing the proper direction; the angles are different so you may get different results ▪︎My cats (and the other furkids) LOVE the rigid bristles, but not everyone's cat will; be prepared for that. I believe there are other, softer versions of this product, so do your research

My adult cats love this! Great item for them to use on their own. Had on the way for quite a while and it's held up well. Would absolutely repurchase for multiple rooms. Good to stick on edges that the cats frequently rub to prevent discoloration from their oils.

Both of my cats love these self-grooming brushes! I got the first ones at the pet store years a couple of years ago and they still look good-as-new. I ordered them more because they love them so much! They rub their faces all over the brushes and lean against them when they walk past to brush their sides. It's so cute! I hung them with those velcro command hooks and haven't had a problem with them falling off the wall. They're the perfect size, too. It's not like they blend into the wall, but I don't find them to be particularly unsightly. I think your cats need this product and my cats recommend them too!

This is a great cat toy, for the most part. The adhesives that they send with it are very strong, but they are not easy to remove. I was not thinking ahead when I applied mine and should have used a Command strip or something a little more removal friendly. If you own your home or are attaching it to something that you do own, the adhesive stickers it comes with work great. My cat also doesn't really know how to use it. It is not an instinctual toy, because the piece of furniture I applied it to is not where she would normally rub her face. It is very easy to clean, however, because the scratching part detaches from the base and you can easily rinse it off or clean it out. I would recommend this product if you can find a place where your cat would normally rub its face, and they could learn to use it. Otherwise, there are likely other toys and scratchers/brushes you could find that would do the same thing.

Las consumidoras del producto lo han agradecido mucho. Recomiendo fijarlo a la pared con clavos pequeños. El adhesivo que viene incluido no es muy resistente. Excelente calidad. Llegó muy rápido. Fácil de instalar. Buena relación calidad/precio.

This feels harder than I would’ve thought would be comfortable, but my cats love it. They weren’t particularly fussed about the catnip aspect, but they rub on this all the time. I’ve installed it on the leg of the coffee table at approx cat cheek height. Definitely recommend.

One of our cats absolutely LOVES this brush. She rates it ten billion out of ten for the best brush she has ever had in her lifetime.

Ho acquistato questo prodotto il 18 gennaio e dopo quasi 3 mesi di utilizzo posso affermare che è un ottimo articolo. In famiglia abbiamo due gatti che si potrebbero sostituire a dei demonietti, lo usano molto per grattarsi il musetto e il corpo e fino ad ora il biadesivo (fornito con lo stesso) ha retto benissimo il colpo, non si è mai staccato. C'è anche la possibilità di avvitarlo con delle viti direttamente al muro, cosa che non ho fatto subito perché non sapevo se l'avrebbero utilizzato (magari quando si staccherà potrei pensarci). All'interno è molto semplice inserire l'erba gatta (una bustina in dotazione) e poi richiudere, se si mette bene non c'è fuoriuscita di materiale. Comoda anche da pulire Consiglio questo prodotto

What a great item, I now have two. I occasionally change out the cat nip, and clean the brush and my cats just continue to use it.
