Cat grooming gloves or cat de shedding gloves have become very popular.
Using a cat grooming glove is a really nice way to giving your cat a light massage and remove excess cat hair at the same time.
Grooming the cat using a de shedding glove ensures that you are not only removing hair but also dirt and other bits of foreign matter that the cat can somehow accumulate.
We know cats are fastidious groomers but a little helping hand doesn’t go astray.
We had a neighboring cat, years ago who basically did no grooming and he was a very large fluffy cat. 
He always looked like a train wreck with prickles and bits of debris in his coat.
He adored having a pat and a chat and almost certainly would have loved a brush with one of these gloves.

The design of these gloves are slightly different to other gloves as the fingers are a slimmer fit than many other gloves. They do also have some stretch which helps with the fit.
The more hair there is on the glove makes it easier to peel off so wait until you have finished the massage before removing the hair.
Make sure you massage in the direction of the hair.
Cats love their back and head being massaged but the tummy is questionable. Some cats have been reported to not minding a tummy brush with these gloves. Tread warily and see how kitty reacts.
The gloves are right and left handed.
They can be used wet or dry, however overwhelmingly they are easier for a pet owner to use dry.
The hair will float to some extent. You will find yourself adjusting the movement to minimize any hair float.
If you get some static build up on the cat just spray the glove with a small amount of water.
Rubbing a dryer sheet over the pet is another recommendation.

The slim fingers on this glove make it easier to reach hard to get at places.
The gloves can be machine washed.

Specifications
These gloves are available in different sizes, Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large.
The gloves come in a pair, one or the right hand and one for the left hand. The best way to gauge size, is to think about what size rubber glove you would wear. If you wear a medium rubber glove then a medium glove should be the best fit.
The gloves are stretchy. They nodules are made from non abrasive flexible rubber and the glove itself is made from nylon.
There is an adjustable wrist strap to secure the glove firmly.
Cats usually shed their hair twice a year and it is signalled by the seasonal light availability not the temperature as we might expect.

This glove is suitable for cats with all length hair, long or short. A de-shedding glove will help keep the hair at bay. With a longer haired cat with an undercoat you may need to run your fingers through the coat. A more heavy duty tool may be required however not all cats like the metal prongs of some of the heavy duty tools making this an alternative.
The silicone tips in this new version (green, black or purple) are longer and softer to collect more hair. There is also a special layer of coating on the silicone to help the pet hair peel off easily.
These gloves have an adjustable Velcro strip which is secured at the wrist. If the size of the glove is an issue, read my tips for an easy way to help solve this problem.
There are two gloves, a right hand and a left hand. It is suitable to be used on pets with long or short hair and wet or dry hair.
The gloves are machine washable and can be hand washed by just popping into some warm water with detergent. Let the gloves dry flat. The flexible mesh is quick drying.
As well as removing excess hair, daily brushing will help to de tangle matted fur and put a finishing shine on coats.
The shine is always amazing and very noticeable. As well as removing excess fur, the dust and other general debris is removed.
Using these gloves can be a last minute decision as nothing is required other than the gloves and perhaps a towel for excess hair.
The cat loves it and it can be a long leisurely massage or a quick, let’s keep this under control, massage. This type of massage is also an easy way to manage excess fur developing into fur balls.
Before using spray lightly with water for better effects.

Some people do have trouble with the hair coming away from the glove easily, despite the new coating that has been applied.

3. Four Paws Cat Grooming Mitt
- Soft rubber nubs gently remove loose hair and debris
- Stimulates skin’s natural oils for a therapeutic grooming experience
- Adjustable hand strap is perfect for all hand sizes
- Also helpful in lifting hair from furniture, carpets, and other fabrics
This is a mitt rather than a glove. In addition to removing loose hair this mitt stimulates natural oils with the end result being that lovely, shiny coat.
The mitt can also be used to remove cat hair from clothing, furniture and carpets.
If your cat isn’t too sure about this strange mitt that has just surfaced, just leave it hanging around and try again in a day or two. Hopefully you will have a more positive experience once the cat is used to the mitt.
Tip for Use: This tip works for any mitt/glove. Hold the cat’s collar lightly, to keep them steady while you smooth the mitt the length of the body. This will give the cat a feeling of stability and security.
Pros
Easy to remove pet hair from this glove.
Cons
Only make a right hand mitt. Would be useful to have a left hand mitt option.
Not necessary efficient at removing cat hair from furniture and clothing.
