I've recently read in a magazine that olive oil is not only a healthy addition to human food, but also highly recommened for cat food...

Has anyone ever tried to add olive oil at a regular basis to their cats diet?!

I really wondered wether it is really healthy to give it to a cat daily...I am thinking of digestive problems...in the article were no recommendations about how much to give them and how often...:(
Any experiences here?

Someone who's adding olive oil to their "Tortellini cats" ' food???:confused:

I'm sure it would be really good for cats in moderation. :) I know omega-3 oils help inflammation.

I have no idea about cat dosage of olive oil, however my vet recommended flax oil for Mitzi's fur (dry, dandruff). Just a human-sized capsule squeezed over the food on a daily basis. I haven't done this as the food I give her (Pet Gold Light Hairball) has the proper cat-sized dose of flax oil in it. It's taken a couple of months of being on this food, but now her fur is GORGEOUS! Plush, thick, shiny and soft - my little fur ball/purr-ball. I love my itsy bitsy Mitzi meatball! :D
