Default Cats & Hairballs

Yuck....I know. Does anyone have any tricks or suggestions for relieving hairballs in cats?

My cat seems to have one. He's lost his food several times today.....I finally gave him 1/4 of a Pepcid tablet and that seems to have helped.

I have the gel that you can buy at the grocery - the Hartz Hairball Gel that comes in a tube - but neither of them like it.

I've ordered some cat grass from a website but it will take a few days for it to get here and then a few days to grow.

It's funny because he will go to my fake plants and trees here in the house and gnaw on the leaves. He's smart 'cos he knows he needs the roughage from greenery.....just not plastic greenery.
.


Just wondering if anyone has a good homemade remedy that works.
