PDX Pet Design Licki Your Cat Brush

Product Information

This flexibility, Hu says, is the key to what allows such relatively short spikes to clean not only the longer, sparser outer layer of fur but also the thick, down-like undercoat next to the skin.

The cat brush is shaped like a giant tongue that you simply need to put inside your mouth, and…you can lick-brush your cat. To find out what role these spines played, mechanical engineers Alexis Noel and David Hu at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta performed microscopic computed tomography scans of the tongues of six species of cats -- the domestic cat, bobcat, cougar, snow leopard, tiger and lion. New insights into how cats clean their fur with scores of tiny scoops on their tongues could lead to better hairbrushes for both cats and humans.no thanks, its just not clean, sorry, if the moggy wants a brush it gets it by hand, people actually lick cats?

The softness and flexibility of the TIGR may provide something closer to the cat’s own grooming experience that’s more tolerable for them—and their owners.Such brushes could be used for people, or possibly on cats, perhaps to spread cleaning solutions so owners with cat allergies won't suffer the sniffles. The dark red-violet fibre is tenacious and resistant, being extremely elastic with a good colour retention capacity. Hu and Noel have already filed for a patent for the TIGR and see the brush being used not just for grooming, but also for applying creams and lotions to cat skin without needing to shave the animal, and even for sorting fibers in textiles. The scientists found that papillae are shaped like scoops, which help them quickly absorb saliva through capillary action, the same effect that helps draw water up trees.
