Hi everyone,
I've had longhaired cats in the past (primarily actually) but never had a problem at all with furballs. Lily cleans herself a LOT more than any other cat I've had, and sheds a lot too. Since I got her, she coughs up about 1 furball a week! It really isn't good for my carpets, and she looks like she's in so much pain! I know it can't be too horrible for her, but I feel so guilty just sitting there watching!
I'm planning on buying her some of that "Anti furball" dry food... Optimum is the brand but I don't know if it's just Australian - that might not mean anything to most of you =]
Can anyone tell me if it actually works? And if not, any other hints? I think I remember seeing some cream that you rub on them, then they lick it off themselves, and it helps the digestion or something?
I brush her a lot... not every day because she doesn't like it very much
but as often as I can!
