My two beloved felines pointed me in the direction of a special medium that they love to be petted and groomed with. We took their discovery to market and now they have their own website. Kittyslicker.com. The Kittyslicker tool was invented invented from a simple household product. The design we selected for it is similar to the size and shape of a baby's hair brush. It is a very light weight, flat device, about 1/8 thick and covered with special surfaces on each side of the entire device that emulates the sand papery sticky feeling of a kitty's tongue; there are no pins, plastic or rubber studded objects. It does not pull out the hair, or leave comb or brush marks, just beautiful smooth, sleek hair. It is very easy and comfortable to hold in your hand while slicking cats and kittens. It stimulates the thousands of hair follicles resulting in a sable soft, sleek coat, lightly removes lose hair without pulling, and produces wonderful contented purring. This fabulous little tool also massages the skin and muscles simultaneously. The product isn't apporpriate for matted or extremely dirty hair in need of grooming or other services. The product may be lightly cleaned by spritz-ing with alcohol or lightly rinsed off under the faucet.
