I just rub the defurrum into Willow's front leg and she had no choice but to clean it off. Always smooth in in the direction of the fur but make sure it is well rubbed in as they will flick it and it ends up all over the place. It must taste quite nice as Clapton licks it straight from my finger. I think it is just cod-liver oil and malt.

Try smearing it on her paws, Bazsmum. It also helps if you give your cat a tin of tuna/sardines/similar IN OIL once a week. Keeps their coat glossy too.
Cats were once gods; they have never forgotten this, nor have the people they own.

Cats are pretty pathetic when they are sick.....My Pippa had furball issue's and I bought the deferrum from PAH and she would'nt touch it.... :tired:

I had to try and disguise it in her food....the little butter always managed to work her way around it.... :Crazy:

Make sure you're giving him some furball treatment, Betsy.  ;)
Whats that exactly ?

Well, cats eat grass for the same reasons that we would take a glass of alka saltzer. Grass eating can, but not always, be a sign that puss is building up a nice big furball he wants to shift. It can also mean wind, or he's eaten something dodgy. And some cats just like making themselves sick.  :rofl: A drop of Defurrem covers you in case the cause is furball.  :)

Well there is Katalax and then defurrem, the last one comes also as treats and comes from Pets At Home.

My longhaired 4 will not touch either of these two things so I have to make do with all their grass munching and furballs on the carpet  :rofl: :rofl:

Just noticed that my thomas has started to have a little nibble at the grass in the back.  Should i be worried?
