Their tongue has barbs on it so they can catch loose hairs when they groom themselves. This is why they get hairballs all the time. But my sister gave me some info on how to cure this, you put a little bit of Vaseline on the tip of their nose. (But don't clog up the nostrils). When they lick off the Vaseline, it helps them to get rid of any hairballs. BTW Mark: Thanks so much for your lovely comment. You are a very kind man! Helen |

Their tongue has barbs on it so they can catch loose hairs when they groom themselves. This is why they get hairballs all the time. My understanding it that it's for more than grooming. It also helps them "clean" meat off the bones of animals they've killed...a carry-over from their BIG cousins, the lion and tiger, etc. But my sister gave me some info on how to cure this, you put a little bit of Vaseline on the tip of their nose.

Helen -- Images (Plus Snaps & Grabs) by MarkČ at: www.pbase.com/markuson Yes, I agree. The barbs are used for more than grooming. Can you imagine the barbs on the big cats? Lions, Tigers, etc! =:-0 Helen |

You are very kind Alan. Actually, my best friend is an expert on cats, and she told me that milk is actually bad for cats. For dogs it's fine but not cats. Believe it or not, cats require more meat than dogs do. Helen |

That's how we got our feral cat....First the milk, then kibbles to go with the milk, then a cardboard box to sleep in, then a waterproof heating pad for the Winter months, then a cat door into the garage, then move the food and box into the garage, then into the house.....Now, 5 years later, the cat is sleeping on our bed and eats nothing but roast chicken.......:^) |
