Abstract
A device for safe and convenient removal of loose hair and fur balls from a cat having a frame mounted to a wall. Attached to the frame are two planar surfaces upon which are placed catnip receptacles and a plurality of bristles. The plurality of bristles are of appropriate number, placement, and size to catch and hold a cat's loose fur. The receptacles of catnip serve to lure the cat to the device so the cat is likely to scratch itself on the bristles.
