I guess your cat has long hair so this may not help however my cat used
to enjoy firm stroking sometimes and I used to get HUGE amounts of hair off him just by running the palms of my hands firmly down his body from head to base of tail. He would sit on my lap for ages (I usually got bored before he did) and I could get about a 2L ice cream tub of (non-squashed down) hair off him. He would also *sometimes* tolerate a nylon bristled brush but never the other side which was wire bristled. Kate |

I forgot...in regards to hairballs, they do have some kind of "treat" in a
tube. Its salmon flavored to help keep hairballs under control. But that doesnt take the place of keeping a cat groomed. It's like us, You wouldnt think of going a week w/o combing your hair. "Gail" wrote in message nk.net... You can try Purr Pads, which cats love to sleep on. They do have something in the fabric that collects the cats' hair. They can be purchased at pet stores, Wal Mart, and many other places. Gail "Diane" wrote in message ... In article .com, wrote: Kiran wrote: I want my cat to avoid hairballs and do try to brush her everyday. However, it occurred to me that while she resists brushing, she likes to roll around all the time quite happily, and if a fabric was designed to remove hair, that would be the best solution? Any ideas? Kiran I recommend Zoom Groom by Kong. It's a big, rubber thing with chunky bristles. It picks up fur by static, and since there's no scratchy wire, most cats tend to like it quite a bit. Three of our four will purr deeply while getting brushed and I get out SO MUCH HAIR!. The fourth...hates everything, so what can you do. I just got one. Hodge's behaviour didn't change -- he still rolls around and attacks whatever is in front of him, then turns around and attacks the hand with the brush, which then ceases and desists for a bit. The Zoom Groom seems to get the coarser top hair (in his case, the orange/red stuff). The rake seems to get all white hair, which also seems finer. -- Web site: http://www.slywy.com/ Message board: http://www.slywy.com/phpBB2/ Journal: http://slywy.diaryland.com/ |

zoom groom and the furminator .. amazing inventions!
even if the cat doesn't like being groomed, you can achieve so much in such a short time with these devices! Kiran wrote: I want my cat to avoid hairballs and do try to brush her everyday.

There's another product by Pfizer, called Lax'aire. It's also in a tube; contains codliver oil, soybean oil, peptonized iron and liquid petrolatum. It's a laxative. Doesn't eliminate hairballs, but it makes it much easier for the cat to get rid of the hairball. And my lot can't resist the taste! |
