I have a cat I think is half NFC. I taught him to love being brushed and he demands to be brushed several times a day. I get at least half a kitten out of him each time. I have no idea how he still has so much fur left, but he’s very soft and doesn’t have any mats in his fur.
I use these:
Blingbrione Cat&Dog Soft Silicone Deshedding Brush for Bath/Massaging/Grooming Pets, Loose Undercoat Remover/Skin Cleaner/Making Hair Gloss, Gently Comb Suitable for Short Long Hair pets. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B08Y5DS7MN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_NDRSYD6EAFEZR12MZ94T?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
And
SleekEZ Deshedding Grooming Tool for Dogs, Cats & Horses - Patented Undercoat Brush for Short & Long Hair - Painlessly Remove 95% of Loose Hair, Fur & Dirt https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00VC8GSZ0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_D4WGZRNREPRGKR6CE4WZ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
This one - note "sensitive skin" version with plastic tipped bristles - is least hated/most tolerated here. My fluffy boy will put up with that for 10x longer than the same activity with a rake style brush. Hope it helps
I use this one and it's just made of plastic. It's a UK Amazon link but hopefully it's available wherever you are as well!
