    Cats grieving

    Yes, flea allergies can really make them itch. So the dried egg yolk simply helps break up the fat that kind of holds the hairball together, which then allows it to travel better down the digestive tract and out the back end, as nature intended. Doesn't even have to be dried egg yolk, can be...

    Cat Removed Own Mats?
