Uh huh. Like pilling a cat is any easier than giving one a bath. LOL I seem to remember getting a bottle of oil that you could squirt on the cats food. But when I moved here it somehow got thrown away. Keep in mind, Persia eats r/x food for bladder issues and she's getting up there. She's 14 by my best guess. I don't really know. Jill Scouty tends to get dandruff on her back... it doesn't seem to bother her. I know Persia's on a restricted diet of mostly kibble - she may not have enough oils in it for good skin health. Add it to her food. It can't hurt... They also sell it in a tube as 'kitty vitamins'. Cats are 'supposed' to love it but Scouty wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. If all else fails, give her tuna juice from canned tuna. THAT Scouty will happily lap up. Persia's weird... she hates tuna and definitely won't eat tuna juice. Sometimes I can get her to eat the Fancy Feast salmon but for the most part she's a chicken or turkey girl. Jill |

In the UK, we get canned tuna in sunflower oil, or spring water, or brine. Brine would be far too salty to be good for your cat's health. -- MatSav |

When she first came to me the vet wanted me to give her pills in case she had intestinal worms. (We had no idea where she came from or how long she'd been living outside.) He suggested I tuck the pills in water packed tuna. She sniffed it, then turned her nose up. I've never been able to get her to eat tuna. Just as well, that stuff is expensive! I can't say I've ever seen it packed in brine, but then I don't actually look for it. I don't like tuna, either! Jill |
