Hopefully he wont throw up a better quality biscuit! Whiskas wet/dry can be rich for some, if you want an average wet food try felix, its blander imo.

This is the kind of comb i find useful for getting lots of dead hair out:
http://www.petmeds.co.uk/p-3588-mikki-moulting-comb.aspx

How long have you had him? It can take a long time for them to loose the feeling of this could be your last meal so scoff it quick.

What brands are you feeding him?

Thanks, i'm brushing him regulary - but a new brush might be in order. ;D
I've had him for just over 2 months. I'm still trying different foods - but mainly whiskers in jelly (he does like the pate (whiskers/gourmet gold, but they are a bit too rich - vomit  :sick:) But he's not fussy, he'll eat anything! Loves dry food (despite no teeth) I give him Go-Cat for indoor cats (he is indoor, but it helps the 'kibbles' are round - i'm guessing he swallows them whole!) Thanks.

I always use the wire slicker brushes on my guys, the love being brushed with them which helps too.

you could get one of those timer feeding dishes?

the fur thing is just a matter of brushing more regularly while he is getting rid of his winter coat

 

 :thanks: Done, and doing. (Should I get a metal comb? I have one with 'rubber tipped spines' and a 'normal' hair brush type)
 No chance of another cat though? Think he would be jealous/territorial? (I'm don't know why i'm even letting it cross my mind, it's too soon - but i'm thinking company for him, he probably just likes his own company - and he would still eat the timer food!!

Jack is a Hogg! (not being too rude, he's great  8)) But he is such a mooch, I break his meals down into small amounts (when I can, I work - got to pay for his ping pong balls!) But he eats so quickly and everything at once. The problem? Vomiting. He's been in a 'rescue centre' for 4, yes 4years!! ( :censored: Don't get me started!!) So I think he's just had dry food, which he still eats ( no teeth..) but i'm thinking the wet food is maybe too rich - he loves it though. But he will still stuff himself with dry and vomit!

Lots of info/Q's - sorry.
Different thread probably - been thinking he might like a FIV pal to chill with? He might just be really jealous/threatened? Thoughts?
But I couldn't get another - because of the food. How could I feed them - Jack would eat it all!!! Greedy  :naughty:

Thoughts on the vomiting? Shedding fur ATM? Causing vomiting?
