Poor Lily just cried - and threw up!

[momcat]

Oh Kirsten! How is your sweet Lily feeling? I hope this is only a one time thing and she's not sick.

Hi Lily! I'm so sorry to hear that you weren't feeling well. I hope you're all better now. Here are lots of feel better scritchies and lovies just for you


PS: Kirsten, I'm sending some for Luna too!

Poor girl! Smudge has long hair and used to hack up a couple hairballs a week until I started adding a fiber supplement (psyllium) to his canned food, just because he needed fiber. But it really reduced the hairballs too.

Lily - please, please, don't eat chives! Onions of any sort are bad for cats - they can really mess up your red blood cells. Any member of the plant family that shares your name is very unhealthy for cats to eat! Try oat grass - it gives you that green munch without any health hazard.

Love, Columbine

There's nothing quite as wonderful as stepping into a cold pile of cat urp in the middle of the night! I have one who pukes as a hobby!

LOL. I am sure you didn't mean that to be funny, but it was. I love finding these when I am in bare feet. Why is it that they are always in the path that we walk?!?

[katladyd]

Always. Never in a remote corner. Nope.

Why is it that they are always in the path that we walk?!?

Or on your slippers, or the carpet
Peppito is a specialist too, while Jasmine throws up only twice a year (though she has a thicker fur, with thin sticky hair, like a rabbit)

Kirsten,

I wouldn't worry too much. Mollie Rose, who is 16, does the same thing. She also yowls at the Drinkwell Fountain just before she figures out where the depth of the water is.

[Kirsten]

Thank you everyone for your advide! Don't worry, she's fine! I don't even think she's been ill, and I hope she can still get rid of that possible hairball.

I have such a hairball paste, btw, but even that is impossible with Lily. Believe me, I've tried all the tricks!

Poor girl, I'm sure it was just a hairball from all the seasonal shedding! Mine have been making the dreaded puddles too!

[Kirsten]

Yes, it's the time of the year... Mine have been shedding horribly a while ago, when the first heatwave was here. Recently, Luna threw up a huge hairball, she must have felt so relieved after that!
