Thanks GG. That is a much better price! I will order some. I hope my vet will cooperate. Mouse, I've tried all the tricks. What worse, is she tries to bury her food and smears it all over the place . I did get some nice turds today after feeding her a pumpkin added brand of food. I am going to try adding pumpkin to her food as I see many online have had good results. She also has peg powder added to her food, the human variety as suggested by her vet. Adding to her problem is over grooming. She actually pulls out hair and eats it. The hairball variety of food did not help. I also give her hairball remedy Felaxin |

Bertie does that with his fur. I don't think he is eating it deliberately, it is more that it sticks to his tongue and he has to ingest it to get rid of it. If I'm around I catch it first, but he does ingest a lot. I think long-haired cats often have this problem. |

OO make sure you get the pumpkin and not the pumpkin pie filling. I am happy you found a solution from GG. My cats bury the food they don't like also. I waste more money on open cans that they won't eat. They like it for a while, I buy a whole bunch, then they decide they don't want it so they bury it. I always heard that if they pull out their hair it is because they have some pain in that area. I had a cat before that did that in one spot. Turned out she had a tumour. I just found out that I can order off amazon relaxers for cat. That might be a good idea for me so that I can clean her bum without her screaming to high heaven....but she might still try to attack me, I shall see. |

It always amazes me that pumpkin works both ways for our pets. When they are constipated the fibre causes them to go and when they have the runs again the fibre stops them. The vet tech told us it could be up to 5 days post surgery before Harley will have a BM; hence in comes the pure pumpkin. Take care, Pat |

I was really amazed at how much both my cats like the taste. I purchased a food called Cat Wok which has a lot of pumpkin in it but will use canned pumpkin and add it to their normal food. It suggests on line to freeze it into teaspoons using ice cube trays. Mouse, I will make sure it's pure pumpkin and not the pie filling. I met a woman Superstore buying a pile of yams which she feeds to her dogs with a raw food diet. My cat pulls her fur when she is frustrated. If she wants to be fed way before feeding time and I ignore her, she pulls it. Last summer I had some plumbing done and I locked her in a bedroom for a few hours. She must have pulled out half her tail! It's only now starting to look normal again. |

That's really unfortunate. With Bertie it is just a problem when he grooms himself. I do try to keep up with combing, but honestly I could comb for hours and not get all the loose fur. He is an extremely productive fur factory and his fur is very cottony, not satiny. It floats everywhere, and I am sure that if they ever have to open me up they will discover I am stuffed with white fur. It's everywhere. Other cat owners can leave the house looking relatively fur free, I just have to walk down the hall and I have fur all over. |
