Neely is a meticulous groomer and has somewhat frequent hairballs. I tried using Laxatone but it made her vomit a watery brown liquid so I stopped. Has anyone had the same problem and/or know of a better solution? (BTW, I do comb her regularly.) Thanks, I appreciate any tips or advice.

It is the most economical litter I have ever used. I only put a layer of litter in the pan that will cover half the pan. As the cats use it, it turns to sawdust. When its all dust you dump it....

This is probably the single most important toy I ever bought. I got it when my boy was a kitten and two years later, he still plays with it every day.

I've found the pastes to be quite messy and Oliver decided to not like the taste all of a sudden for whatever reason... I did pick up a container of the Pounce hairball treats cuz they were on sale AND I had a coupon (haha major deal there!) and they seem to work pretty decently... He's had a couple of hairballs since I started with these in the spring, but no more than he was producing with the messy paste stuff (plus on an occasion or two, I forgot to give him the treats after he preened for hours after monthly baths, so that was my bad)... he is short hair though... just a thought
