And put it in my cats food it helps her pass the fur balls. She sheds a lot of fur and i can brush but it seems there is no end to it. I suggest you also get a vitamin for cats fur. I think since I live in a area that has hot weather all year round she sheds a lot. Not like cats who live where it snows they only shed in the summer a lot. It could mean she lacks a vitamin in her diet that causes her to shed a lot. Also it would be good if you get some organic wheat grass seeds and grow them inside cause cats and dogs like to eat grass they use grass like we eat vegetables for fiber. And wheat grass is really good for them and also good for you. you can get a item that squeezes the juice out of the leaves and drink it for yourself. Google wheat grass and it will tell you what it is good for. I paid $15.00 for 15 pounds of organic wheat grass on-line. It sure is better for cats and dogs than regular grass. Like I said google it.

I brush her daily now that it's hot outside, but it doesn't seem to help, she still does the same thing. Kind of like a habit she can't break....So I have just learned to live with it....I can't part with her...she is the sweetest cat I have ever had.
I have another short haired cat,,not yet a year old, and I don't have that problem with Morris......Morris gets a bath every now and then while Pepper is always giving ""herself"" a bath. I have asked a similar question. It's just one of those things you are going to have to live with. Cleaning up a hairball now and then is not fun but I won't part with my black cat.I have tried all the hairball treatment foods on the market too as well as giving her the medicine the vet gave me,,but to no avail.
Hang in there------you are not alone..
