[QUOTE="KitKat, post: 117546, member: 4518"] Hi everyone and good morning. The side topic of hairballs interested me... I have three saved kitties and all of them suffered greatly from hairballs, brushing or no brushing. Last year at this time, I lost my favourite furbaby Oscar to the food recall (Royal Canin Prescription Diet Duck/Rice) which was absolutely devastating as well as horrible to watch. To make a long story short, we have two new savelings (I work with a cat adoption agency to do this) and all our cats' food has been changed to grain-free type since last March. The cats are all currently on Wellness grain-free wet (wet helps with kidney function) and for the dry they are getting Orijen which is made in Canada but is available in the US (I've heard so anyway). You might want to think about changing to a grain-free diet - cats don't require grain - companies just use it as a filler. About two months after I started my kitties on the new diet, the hairballs stopped completely. I also had issues with one of my cats vomiting sporadically (right after eating) and that hasn't occurred for at least the last nine months. With all that goes on in this house (and I imagine yours!) we don't have time for a regular brushing regimen but let me tell you the change in diet has had some amazing effects. Sorry to be addressing a side topic here but I thought it might help! Have a good day everyone... [/QUOTE]
