The Innova canned food would be a good option. Also, canned food is less
in
calories than dry so that would be another reason to switch your cat over
to
canned since you said he was overweight.

As far a grooming tools, I had a glove that was for grooming. It had
rubber
nubs on the palm part. You would wear the glove and just pet your cat and
it would help remove loose fur, etc. I'm not sure if such a glove is
available anymore, but you could check the pet stores or maybe online
somewhere.

Innova is a good brand, and Nature's Variety raw or canned is
excellent as well.

I believe those gloves are still available. If you can't find them at
a pet store, try a place like Harriet Carter, where they tend to sell
the unusual. Have you tried taking him out on a harness and brushing
him that way. I've found it works great with my cats. They are
distracted by outside sounds/smells, and I can brush away.

Yeah we've tried the harness thing, in fact we tried to train him from
when he was a kitten with the intent of being able to walk him, but
it didn't work well. Once the cats came back inside, they would all
go nuts trying to kill each other. I just noticed our 3yr old long
hair
female at home is having similar issues, so it's probably just the
whole spring shedding thing. The glove brush thing sounds kind of
cool though and I'll check out the website mentioned above. Thanks
for the tip.
