Or de-furrum from PAH - I tried the Sherley's one but they all hate it. I also bought some stuff called Green (something) from Zooplus which is a clear gel with green specks in that they won't touch either. Clapton will lick Katalax or defurrum from the tube.

I use the cat malt from Zooplus to good effect as Z's a hairball factory!

All 3 will eat it readily ( and Keli's not a treat type of kitty!)

I just put a dose on a teaspoon and have fun watching the spoon get chased round the floor....

My semi longhaired cat hates all pastes. He eats house/cat grass with a good effect. He has not had any hairballs since May 08 when I started to foster him.

katalax is good, but not all cats will lick it from the tube (Mosi used to then decided he doesn't like it.  Jaffa loves it but he doesnt' need it).  I give Mosi de-furrum treats and he eats them.  They seem to keep him furball free most of the time, although he does get one every few months.

Memph is on lax-a-paste for his constipation. It's actually for hairballs and OMG he loves the stuff  :shocked: Apparently it tastes like fish.

Make sure you put the tube of katalax away once you've finished with it!!! I left the tube out once and Bilbo chewed through it and ate it all. An NFC in full winter coat after a tube of Katalax is not an attractive or nice smelling sight  :sick: :sick:
