Abstract: A furniture device for cats is disclosed comprising a basic housing design being generally rectangular and preferably defining a plurality of circular apertures in the sides thereof. Each aperture is designed to receive a frame therein which is preferably annular and includes a grooming device such as a brushing or combing device extending inwardly across the opening and defined within the annular frame. With this configuration as animals such as cats enter and exit the housing an automatic grooming operation will occur on the external hair or surface thereof to prevent the shedding of loose hairs on floors and other areas where such shedding is undesirable. The individual frames will be each detachably securable to the apertures in the sides of the housing by a snap-in, snap-out arrangement or a threaded arrangement to facilitate washing of the grooming device periodically.
