I just had a question about the shed no more pills that you sprinkle on the cat's food. My 3 cats are so picky about what they eat (they only eat chicken soup for the cat lovers soul) that I can't even sprinkle the stuff on their food because they smell it and they won't eat it. I have even tried soft food and mixing it in and they really don't even like soft food as a treat. I was just wondering if there is anything I could get to give them to help with the shedding that they may not even realize is on there? With 3 cats, even brushing twice daily, there is an enormous amount of hair.

Two of may cats are serious shedders. One is picky on food already I don't add any extra. What type of brush do you use??? I was lucky I used to have a cat that loved being vaccuumed!!

Sharky, what brand of olive oil do you use? My girls shed a lot and I would love to try olive oil before something like a pill or a product made just to help reduce shedding.
Thanks!
