    I have found the best remedy for hairballs!

    Bastet hasn't been well this week *which is why I wasn't on here* so off to the vet we went.

    He said she was a little constipated and probably had a tummy full of hair balls. He suggested a couple of sardines in brine or spring water on her food that night.

    Sure enough off she went! Didn't my little sweety feel better!

    The vet said provided you don't feed them oily fish (twice a week is enough) too often that cats are ok in removing hairballs with the oil the sardines provide.

    Interesting remedy which works a treat!

    Since we've been feeding our cats Nutro, this has cut down extremely on our hair ball problem.
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers
