Anybody want a BRODIE???

[Don Juan's mom]

After I got Zerlina, Don Juan got in the habit of gobbling as much food as he could (so the other cat couldn't get it ) and then throwing up. So, I started giving half the food in the morning and half at night, which solved that problem.

My sister Carolyn's old cat Oliver is a gobbler, too. She got a couple of the "vacation" feeders with timers and set them to open so he gets four tiny meals during the day. He will sit by the feeder and wait for it open... because otherwise, Selena the Banzai Cat will eat his food!

I just ran out and bought some Nutro for Brodie. Only thing is they didn't have any of the Hairball formula. But it's the *New Complete* Formula that is supposed to have some hairball in it and they're ordering me some that's supposed to be in on Monday.

I held him down and gave him a GOOOOOOOOOD brushing! Not just a little brush . . . I got down deep and he did not like me much after that.

I hope the Nutro helps. My husband is all for getting a hair cut.

I'm gonna give this a few days and see if it helps any at all.

I really appreciate all of your input. I will take ALL of it into consideration.

Christa,

I know alot of people that feed their pets Nutro. It's very good. I hope it helps his barfing problem. If not....I'LL TAKE HIM!!!!

You might regret that comment when you get a LARGE box in your PO Box next week instead of just a CD mailer. You know, since I have your address now . . . hmm . . .

Oh, the photos are so cute, even though he does look a little bit sad.

Onyx is a chronic hairball puker, about once a week or so. I always find her black fur in it. (Why I know it's her and not the other girls.) Cats are prone to throwing up, I'm sure you knew that. Good luck with the solutions provided, hope something works for you! I've never taken action on Onyx because it only happens about once a week and she always seems fine afterwards, I think she just needed to get that ingested fur out.

At this point, once a week sounds like HEAVEN! If we could just get him to once every 2 weeks or once a month . . . that would be fantastic! Better than what's going on now anyhow.
