Review title is EASY TO USE, SUPER EASY TO CLEAN! [SEP] The best part about this brush is that you push the button on top, the teeth retract, and you just wipe off the fur!  Push the button again, slide it forward, and the teeth lock in place, ready to start grooming.<br /><br />I have always liked slicker brushes for grooming short haired cats and as a way to control the shed on longer haired dogs, but it was almost impossible to clean out all of the fur.  The retractable pins solve the problem!  This brush is even easy to use with arthritic hands!<br /><br />My Siamese cat with short, thick fur, adores this brush!  Since he doesn’t groom a lot, I need to.  My medium to long haired cat doesn’t like any brush, but tolerated this one.
