night will tell. That's when she seems to get sick. Anybody need any bags of catfood? I have two extras, non hairball, I will not be using. Thanks for asking.

I hope that is because she is feeling better.

they can be serious, though not usually. try a half teaspoon or so of vaseline on a paw - she should lick it right off and it might help. you can do this once a week as a preventative too. or there are special flavored pet products (that are mostly vaseline) as well.

The guy said the hairball specific cat food was not as good as the mostly meat. So far so good. Thanks Kali.

the thinking is it helps move things along. you can try a bit of canned pumpkin mixed in the canned food if she will eat it. some cats love it others not so much.

good luck, good to "see" you
