Speaking as one of the probable minority catslaves who are not troubled ever
by hairball
hoarking at our humble abode, every time I go to Petsmart for their food it
seems there are tons of different brands all with "hairball control"
plastered in big letters on bag/box all around me. Naturally, these have
failed largely to grab my attention, since we have far more interest in the
dental prophylactics of certain brands of food. Remain ignorant of "gooky
stuff in a tube" but maybe you could name the brand for the hoomins fighting
"hairball hoarking"?

: Here is an update on Andy. But first thank you all for the purrs & words
: of encouragement. They are much appreciated.
:
: Andy is home now. He was not very happy on the way home. He was hissing
: and growling at me, and anyone who came near. But I think that is part
: of the anesthetic that hasn't fully worn off yet. He is still a bit
: groggy and stumbling a little. But he at least felt good to play foot
: tag with Mary through the gates. His teeth are fine now.But he did have
: a touch of gingivitus so I was given Baytril to give him once a day for
: a week.
:
: I do have a few questions for you all. First can anyone tell me if
: Baytril is bitter tasting? I asked the vet tech but they said they
: didn't know - you would think they would know by now. Fortunately it is
: in liquid form so it will be easier to give to him.
:
: 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.
