Several months ago I switched Andy over to Nutro hairball control food.
It helped the hairballs quite a bit. But lately he pretty much refuses
to eat it. Maybe it's because Nutro changed it somehow. But in any case
can anyone recommend a different hairball control food? Especially if
your cats like it? If I can't find anything I guess I will go back to
Nutro natural choice, or Nutro Salmon flavored dry food. I guess I will
have to buy a little carpet cleaner to cleanup the hairball mess if I do
have to go back to those foods.

I am using Wellness and Felidae (both canned). I had been using a hairball
control formula and switched to these foods because I wanted better quality.
Ironically, the incidence of furballs dropped dramatically (but were not
eliminated entirely). Even more irony: my shorthair cat has more furballs
than my longhair cat.

The best thing I have found to clean up after furballs is SpotShot Instant
Carpet Stain Remover, manufactured by the WD-40 Company. It is available
from Target and some grocery stores. Get the blue aerosol can with orange
cap. I have tried all sorts of products and this one is easier, does not
leave a round spot, and dirt does not seem to reappear as it does with many
others. It has a scent for a short time that is reminiscent of dry-cleaning
agents.
