I have heard that if you give a cat the oil from a can of sardines once a month this will help with hair balls. It must work cause I haven't seen any hair balls from Tom Sawyer..
My cat gets some furball stuff almost every day and he still has them. This time of year I notice more often because he is inside most of the time. I have a friend who keeps a big open jar of vaseline on the floor so her cats can lick it. She said it helps with furballs. Sounds bad to me..no flavor appeal. The Hartz furball stuff I use at least has a salmon taste to it ..and yes I just looked...petroleum jelly is part of it.
Speaking of cats...did you all see
this video?
