I've seen a lot of people recommend using butter for hair ball control. I've always had my doubts about it's effectiveness. Since butter is a fat, it gets digested, so how can it help with hairballs?
But.....in an effort to reduce the amount of petrolatum product Mazy and Queen Eva have to ingest, I thought I'd give it a try.
Right now they are on Cat Lax every four days. I'm going to start by just replacing one of the Cat Lax doses with a lump of butter. But I wonder how much I will have to use.
Jennie gets pumpkin, one tablespoon a day, every day, for constipation, and this apparently controls any hair ball issues she may have, too. Plus she allows any amount of brushing, combing, or furminating.. Mazy and Queen Eva won't eat the pumpkin. Neither of them allow more than a very little bit of grooming by me. So they need help.
