Old Brocade
Please help with cat food problem. Thanks.?
I have a 23-yr. old Siamese who had a slight problem with hairballs. I tried a Purina blend and she seemed to get better. The next time I needed dry cat food I bought MeowMix Hairball Control Forumula because I had a coupon. Now the hairball problem is worse than ever. This morning she hacked all over an off-white brocade piece of furniture. I went to the store and bought the Purina blend again. Why did this particular brand cause such a dramatic increase where it had been mild before? Has anyone else had this problem? I’m so angry I could spit up hairballs!
This is especially for the jerk who thinks I should kill her–she is in very good health otherwise. Active and playful. She’s not overweight. Eats IAMS pouch food with gusto, drinks milk and plenty of water. The vet told me it is not uncommon for Siamese to live long lives. Thanks to the rest of you–I’m getting some good advice.
Hi Goldie…your kitty became suddenly sick because of the sudden change in diet. Even healthy senior kitties are very sensitive to any changes so if she is used to having Purina as her main brand it would be easier to stay with the same brand with a hairball formula (link below). When changing to the hairball brand it will need to be gradually done from her old regular dried food. (e.g. 1/4 hairball brand to 3/4 old kibble then to 1/2 to 1/2 then to 3/4 hairball food to 1/4 old kibble over a course of a couple weeks). Senior kitties need a little longer adjustment time to prevent their bowel from be disturbed.
I’ve also included a weblink written by Dr. Fosters that details helpful ideas on how best to manage hairballs in felines. Cats tend to shed more when they are older even if she healthy because an ill cat does not shed much hair (like we all thought). A vet can confirm this fact. Anyhow, the website mentions how grooming, diet, over the counter treatments for hairballs and other ideas will aid in minimizing the hairball problems.
I hope your kitty will live many more healthy years!
