whenever my friends complain about their cats throwing up hair balls i always make a point of suggesting that they shave the cat with a hair trimmer. you’d be surprised to find out that not everyone sees it as animal abuse and actually let me help’em try it. as a result i’m not allowed to feed any cats while their owners are away. best of luck with ’em pukey cats, hope the new cat food helps
I knew a guy who had three indoor shaved cats, it makes the fat belly look extra weird.
I sympathize with the cat food dilemma. I have had cats that have iron stomachs that don’t care about prompt changes in the brand of food. I have done the gradual mixing in of new food with old to have the cat hurk when the change is complete. Recently I have to chop the dry food up in a processor b/c if the cat eats too fast he pukes.
I think kitty going HORK! would make a great shirt or poster for that special cat-person in your life. Also, great trick with the towel. I used to swiftly move kitty to a tiled area, the bathtub, or out the door. You have to be quick. Strategic towel-placement could seriously improve things.
My part Maine Coon cat flattens himself on the floor, like a very fluffy rug, and makes a sound like a squeeze toy with a broken squeeker. It’s hard not to laugh as I shove paper in front of him.
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that other people have thought of it too, but I am delighted to see that the paper hairball shield is such a common technique!
