RedHedd,
What I had to do to make my Boo eat it was hold her in my arms and rub about a tsp of the malt stuff on her front paw. Don't just put a gob on there because when she tries to run away, she'll flick it off. I found if I kinda rubbed it in the fur, she had to lick it off before she would walk/move around. I also thought about giving her a little wet food with the stuff hidden in the middle or mixed in. Maybe that would be less "traumatic." Anyways, she hasn't had any hairballs all week! Yay!
