The Steam Brush

A paw-shaped comb with a small water tank in the handle. Press the button and it releases a light mist as you brush, so the coat is damp rather than dry — knots give way instead of pulling, and the hair that comes away stays on the silicone teeth instead of drifting across the room.

For the cat that will never accept a motor

Some cats hear a motor and the session is over before it starts. This one makes no sound at all. It is also the brush that fits in a bag: no cord, no canister, nothing to plug in at the other end.

What it is good at

• Softening matted fur — the mist relaxes a tangle before you work through it, so you are not pulling on skin
• Keeping the hair down — damp fur does not float, so less of it settles on furniture and clothes
• Cutting static — the usual reason a dry brush leaves the coat standing on end
• Traveling — cordless, quiet and small enough to pack

Specifications

• Refillable tank — plain water, or a grooming serum if you use one
• Soft silicone teeth
• 150 mAh rechargeable battery, cordless
