Furball solutions Top Regular combing (rather than brushing) right down to the skin removes a majority of the problem for long and shorthaired cats. Use of cat laxatives lubricates the remainder so it passes more easily. There is now a palatable high fibre food, Hills Feline Hairball Adult Dry Food, which keeps the hair moving along and not balling up into a furball and being re-presented to your carpet.

Excerpt from Cat Care Tips page. That food may have made my cat sick, it was the last thing I gave her before she quit eating. Took her to vet today, hadn't eaten since Sunday, she ate a little tuna tonite so I think she'll be okay. I really think there might be something wrong with that food.

Never had a cat but I stopped feeding my dogs commercial foods a couple of years ago.

There are many good recipes for wholesome, chem-free feed for dogs and I'm sure for cats on the web that you can cookup yourself and know what is in it.

I make a large batch, package about a weeks worth in ziplock bags and freeze it.

I have one dog that was aging and her eyes were starting to become cloudy. I started adding some shredded carrots to her feed and lo and behold...the eyes have cleared up.

When I take my vitamins everyday I give my pooch a fish oil capsule and every other day a vitamin A/D capsule or a little cod liver oil. She waits in anticipation for her daily "treat".

my next door neighbor has a cat (did you see him when you were here? cheetoh, the orange tabby?) who has a terrible skin condition. he scratches himself to the point of sores and hair loss. they've taken him to 4 vets and they all say keep him indoors. they've tried cortisone shots and antibiotics which only work some and short term. apparently, it's an allergy to something outside. they can't keep him in. he's miserable and bored and shoots out an open door every opportunity. anyway, do you have any ideas of something natural you think might help him? they've actually considered putting him down because he suffers so with the itching. he's young..only a year and a half old.

I have a male like that. It was never a problem until a vet gave him a shot at the base of his spine, near his tail(at about 1.5 or 2 yrs old). I've been told it's "flea allergy dermatitis." He's 9 and I have seen enough to get the picture that it's some kind of nerve problem. If you scratch the base of his spine, he starts to compulsively gnaw at the fur on his front legs. He also gnaws the fur at the base of his spine. Both of those areas are like a buzz cut right now.

It helps to use Revolution and keep him flea-free. This year, fleas were a little problem during early spring, and I treated him, but then mosquitoes became a problem, and I think they find the bare patch and bother him. He's not "tormented" like he was several years ago, when fleas were a problem in this area, but he does keep those spots gnawed short. Fortunately(thank you God), I have seen exactly zero fleas all summer long this year, for the first time ever. I haven't treated them since mid-spring.

thank you! i'll print this out and give it to the owners. another thing i've heard might help and that is to bathe him with Miracle II soap. the flea dermatitis was what they were told it was as well, but i think it might be some nerve involvement like with your cat.
