Fran gets FURminated

Christmas came early for Fran...or at least one of her stocking stuffers came early. After doing some Internet research I discovered the FURminator. I would encourage you to check out some of the video's on the site - they are unbelievable. I shared my find with a woman at work, and she convinced me to order one (so she could get one too.) It should be noted after watching the videos and seeing the pictures, Andrew and I were really excited to get the tool that would be the end to the hair ball tumbleweed that is our apartment.So the tool came in the mail on Wednesday. The product came with a spray in no rinse shampoo. The instructions were to clean the fur with the shampoo, dry completely and then comb. After reading the reviews stating that the tool creates a lot of static, we decided it would be best to FURminate in the bathroom - a room Fran is normally not allowed in. She immediately knew something was up and she wasn't having any of it. She was pawing under the door and meowing like she does when she is being taken to the vet (or should I say WAILING.)

Here she is plotting her escape.
She HATED the spray bottle shampoo, though seemed to not mind it as much when I applied it by hand. She just didn't like the spray noise. And once she allowed us to brush her, she was purring louder then we have ever heard her purr before. She started getting antsy again and biting, so we decided to end the FURminating session. It wasn't as successful as most of the testimonials, but that was because of Fran not because the FURminator didn't work. Below is a picture of the fur that will not be found on our floor, hallelujah! And we have great hope that we will be more success next time - now that Fran knows whats coming.

No Fran did not have kittens - that is all her loose under coat.

You may not be able to tell in the picture - but Fran's hair is a lot silkier and thinner.
