Can I use the same brush on my cat and my dog?

Many of these tools are marketed as dual-species, and verified-purchase reviewers do use them on both. However, a grooming-subreddit thread we read flagged that cat skin is thinner and more delicate, so aggressive deshedders and stiff-wire rakes should be used with much lighter pressure on cats, or skipped in favor of a softer slicker or rubber curry.
