7-year-old cat with "smoker's cough" !
Take him to a vet and get a thoracic radiograph. *Chances are it will
show the diagnostic "donuts and tramlines" which are caused by thickened
bronchial walls and trapped air.
ITA with this....

Have you tried some of the Cat Attract litter? When our Sadie was

She started going anywhere (guessing she associated the box...

Hairballs - pumpkin - taste

How about giving her a small amount of oil per day (like olive oil,
vegetable oil)? Like 1 t. per day. She "might" like the flavor.
This is not science, but for a few years I added 1/2 capsule...

Hairballs - pumpkin - taste
Ken,
IMO I would avoid feeding that much tuna. A tidbit every now and then
is ok, but that amount could cause long-term health problems.
Can she tolerate those "hairball treats?" Lots of cats like...

Cat-proofing my mattress?
Rhino,
I would never suggest declawing, so no worries there. I would strongly
suggest putting a scratching post near the areas they scratch, so they
scratch the post and not your bed/mattress.

update on cats eating dirt
Instead of buying something new for your soil, you can use aluminum
foil to cover the soil, or stick pinecones or even plastic forks so

quite possible she had several mates.
