    How Pinot feels about hairball treatment...

    I thought you'd all appreciate this!

    'Tis hairball season-that time when fur flies around in large quantities and gets hacked up on the rug-so lovely. In an effort to alleviate Pinot's hacking issue, we went back to our occasional method of the malt flavored goop in a tube medicine. I put it in her food the first time, under the surface, but not mixed in (you can't mix this stuff, the consistency won't mix, I believe on purpose for effectiveness), no issues, she ate just fine.

    Next morning: my husband fed her and just let the stuff lay on top of her food...not the right method. He put her dish down, turned, and heard this small 'thwack' sound. Princess Pinot had picked up the strip of goop, pitched it against the wall, and then proceeded to eat breakfast.

    I was hysterical. I guess we'll try something else for hairballs. I love that little girl's spunk!

    Oh my goodness, precions Princess Pinot! I am laughing just reading this! "Dad, what is this stuff doing on my breakfast?!"

    But, sweety, please let mum give it to you. Hairballs are no fun.

    Wow, that is hilarious! Pinot, you are so smart - and effective at communicating!

    Maggie, we don't have hairballs -- hairballs are not natural. In the wild, cats do NOT have hairballs. The problem is diet. If you switch to a high quality grain free food, you will eliminate hairballs, and have a healthier cat as well. I switched to a grain free food 5 years back, and have no hairballs at all = back then I had 11 cats, 2 were long hair.

    I have been using Taste of the Wild, but with the issues with the Diamond pet food plant, it is not available just now. I've switched the dogs to Earthborn Holistics but I have 2 bags of TOTW left for the cats so haven't had to make a change as yet. For the cats, mine refused to eat the Canyon River formula, but love the Rocky Mountain formula. No clue as to why, lol.

    Pinot sure is a little spitfire - something about these little grey girls.

    Pinot, you not only set the standards, you enforce them!

    Well done, girl!
