Quote from: ChasSmith on January 25, 2013, 06:03:40 PMSome cats cough up hairballs and/or throw up their food much more frequently than others, but it's a fact of cat life. Something like that every couple of weeks is well within the range of normal. As far as hairballs are concerned, all you can do is try to get them used to frequent combings and brushings, and try to find a flavor of petromalt that they like. Mine have gone on and off it, sometimes being more than willing to lick a bit off my finger, other times turning their little snooty cat noses up at it. You've got it

Well, I don't think I've seen the 1934 "MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH" since the 1980s, and this was most enjoyable. Listening to the commentary track now.
Oh my GAWD.BK has mentioned this a few times and it got me curious, so this morning I thought I'd pick a forum, search on the word "slipcovers", and sample a few threads.I chose bluray.com, but I'm sure you can find this on AVS or any number of other huge forums.Stunned.An example of the "collecting" mentality at its worst? I'm almost speechless. Almost.

It's a pretty normal occurance...unfortunately. you need to brush him more - its because of the hairballs -- if you brush him at least once a week it willhelp alleviate the problem I also use to give my cat something the vet gave me - I don't remember the name of it (my cats been gone for about 11 years now) but it was like a gel in a tube - I would squeeze out about 1/4 inch and let him lick it ioff my finger - or put it on his food - he loved the taste and it help dissolve any ingested hair and prevent hairballsIt would have been a variation of Petromalt. I was always changing formula's to keep the cats interested. Brushing at least once a week is good. I usually did it every day for the long haired cats.Throwing up isn't always a fur ball problem.
