I have noticed that Sace had hairballs ALOT. then i started him on a diff hairball treatment treats, and mixed Avodrem and Purina One hairball food with the Felidae they were already on, and it seems to help. Is there anything that can keep him from getting them, or should i be lucky there as infrequent as they are now from when he first had them?

I haven't had a lot of luck with the treats. Maybe I just wasn't consistent enough with them.

Brushing helps a lot.

Most of mine will eat tuna flavored laxatone with some encouragement. Pumpkin will only eat it with some brewer's yeast sprinkled on it. Sometimes i have to smear it on Paisley but she cleans it off.

it is alright to feed cats pumpkin and squash? never knew that.. i'm assuming it has to be completely organic, right? Any special way you serve it to them?

Organic is good but not required ... IT does need to be plain ( no sugar or seasoning
