I've no idea where to put this so feel free to move as necessary!
So, I'm pet sitting for a woman who is French (I'm in the States) and she has me give her cat a pat of butter daily. I've never seen this here before and I've been a professional pet sitter for 10 years. Is giving cats butter a trend in other parts of the world and if so, is it typically considered a treat or is there a health benefit. I'm guessing it would be a good hairball remedy but any other thoughts? I will add that the cat is 19 and in excellent health for a cat of her age.
