Specific tools
There are specific utensils and tools to remove the maximum amount of dead hair from the cat's coat. One of them is called FURminator, which consists of a brush with close-fitting bristles and an ergonomic grip part. This brush has several varieties depending on the animal for which it is intended and the length of the hair. It can be a little expensive, but it's very efficient. It is recommended that it be used weekly.
There are also metal skimmers and thick bristle brushes. They exist horsehair brushes that they are thick, smooth and that when you brush the cat's fur with them, they are electrostatically charged and magnetize the dead fur, drawing it towards them.
The length of the bristle of the brush should match your cat's coat. If your cat has long fur, the bristle should be long. In the case of short-haired cats, the bristle should be short.
