Have you tried pumpkin? Not pie filling though. I just started using it with my cats and it works great. No puke in 6 weeks.Replied by Jackie (San Ramon, Ca) on 11/20/2011
Most likely it is a hair ball and will need to be rehydrated. If the hair ball does not pass, you may want to take the cat to the Vet. It could be very serious.Replied by Jennifer (Jackson Heights, New York) on 03/13/2012
Many cats get hairballs. My cat had a bad one last year, He stopped eating and was sleeping all day. No pooping and drinking cups and cups of water. He was trying to cough up the hairball so badly that blood came out of his mouth. It was scary because he has asthma too. He was rushed to the animal hospital and had a huge hairball blockage. He almost died. Luckily he made it and now I put mineral oil in his food. But I mix it. Don't let them just lick it off because it can cause liquid pneumonia. I am thinking of trying olive oil from now on. Not only do hairballs get stuck in their stomach.... They get it stuck in the root of their mouth too and it can be very uncomfortable. Cats should not eat dry food. Only wet food.Replied by Melissa (Milwaukee, Wi) on 04/16/2013
Do NOT give your cat mineral oil! Yikes! I don't even buy make-up with that in it.
