overweight female adult sheds so much
My friend has an overweight female adult cat. She sheds so much it
makes it hard for my friend to cook after clearing up fur and then finding it in food. This cat is affectionate and talks a lot, but if you touch her beyond a certain point, you can tell it hurts her. What do we do? The main concern right now is the over shedding. Can you please help? Thank you. S |

Thank you. S The first thing to do is to take the cat to the vet. If petting hurts, she might need vet care. As for the shedding, gentle and frequent use of grooming tools like the Furminator or similar should help ease the shedding problem. And as for the fur in the food issue, I have a coffee cup on my desk that reads "Everything tastes better with cat hair in it" Some amount of cat hair is bound to find it's way into the cooking. Relax and don't worry about it - it won't hurt you. Dan |

I am sure glad to hear that cat furr won't hurt you!! Every now and then I
find a bit of it, especially if I have steamed chicken. "Dan M" wrote in message ... On Mon, 23 Aug 2010 19:32:19 -0700, Susan Lunt-Owens wrote: My friend has an overweight female adult cat.

If it actually had beneficial health effects I'd probably be the healthiest person in the world. But the fact that it doesn't seem to be at all harmful is good enough for me. |
