About Catom Mutifuctional Cat Hair Comb
Catom is a multifunctional cat brush that combines a shedding comb and a lint roller in one body. The upper part is a comb that removes loose hair during the shedding season. A side switch rotates the comb, and a button at the top releases the collected hair. The lower part is a lint roller that removes scattered and stuck cat hair. A clasp at the end of the comb fixes both parts together, so the brush can be hung when not in use. The body is made of plastic with a frosted surface, and the strap is made of nylon.

- Project Duration
- The project started in July 2022 in Yifeeling Design Studio and finished in February 2023 in 425 Design Studio in Nanchang University.
- Operation Flow
- The top of the product is a cat hair comb, which can remove a lot of floating hair from the cat during the hair changing season, when using, you need to take it off, toggle the side switch to rotate the comb, the floating hair will remain at the bottom of the comb, then press the button at the top of the comb to remove the cat hair. The lower part of the product is a hair roller, which can remove the cat hair that is scattered and stuck. After use, the cat hair brush can be fixed on the main body of the roller with the snap at the end of the brush, so it can be hung when not in use.
- Research
- During the shedding season, pet cats will experience hair loss and require regular removal of loose hair. Through research on the process of pet owners cleaning their pets' loose hair, they usually use a shedding brush to remove the main loose hair, and then use a lint roller to remove any remaining cat hair on the cat's body. Therefore, cat owners often have both a cat comb and a lint roller, which are frequently used and complement each other, leading to the design of this product.
