  • @Sara-gl8ue

    Grass is an excellent way to help cats get rid of hairballs. The juice within the grass acts as a lubricant and the roughage helps move the hairball through the digestive tract. If the hairball is too big to move through the digestive system, the grass can help them vomit the hairball up because it's made of plant matter, which is indigestible to cats.
    If your cat is an inside cat like mine, you can simply go pick a few long blades of grass and feed that to them. This method is safe, effective, and free.

    My cat was always coughing up hairballs... I was so worried about it... I found out about a de-shedding tool called Furminator. I got one a couple of weeks ago and my kitty started purring the minute I first used it on him. He has not had a single coughing episode since and he has also stopped his obsession of over-grooming... I just used this tool a few times for only a few minutes each time. It is like a miracle.

    wouldn't it be easier to smear the lubricant onto the cats fur, rather than trying to force feed it. When the cat is throwing up a fur ball, I find it easier to put my shoe on the end comimg out and allow the cat to slowly back up whilst vomiting.

The oil will solidify and they will lick it from time to time if your place is warm it will be the perfect consistency not to liquid and not to hard. As for any breed that i’m sorry to say I am not sure I just know two of my vet friends told me it was safe for cats. Just for reference I have a tortie and siamese and my boyfriend and neighboor both have a persian and a bengal hope this gives your purry fury friends some sort of relief.

      Just don't, Iused this 3 days ago and it gave my cat mild symptoms of lipoid pneumonia, I had given my cat the jelly once before about a year ago when he got constipated without any problems, This time it was different and I wasn't expecting that at all, I guess you can't never be too cautious, there are better alternatives.

    • @radiomandelbrot5868
      @radiomandelbrot5868 3 роки тому +4

      Petroleum jelly is a completely inert substance that cannot be digested or processed in any way, which is why it acts as a lubricant. There's a risk for pneumonia but it has nothing to do with it being somehow toxic because of "where it comes from". It's extremely purified.
      Giving oil is completely useless, your cat will just digest it, unless you give huge amounts of it which should never be done without the supervision of a veterinarian. Also, cats should not be fed large amounts of fat, they're carnivores that feed on small, lean prey and as such are very prone to cirrhosis.
