Happy National Hairball Awareness Day.

Yes, it got really bad this week, what with Miss Emmy's post-winter shed going on.

Her short fur has this strange quality where the brushes we'd try on her would never "grip" enough to remove old fur.

So in 6 years she's never been properly brushed. Hrblz ran RAMPANT this week.

Ah, but then our vet turned us on to THIS:

The Furminator brush seems to work very well. We're hoping it'll cut down on the hrblz.

You may also want to use an anti-hairball food. I’ve had good luck with Iam’s.

And the same to you!!!

When Fluffy says, “Yow yow yow,” it usually means something like “Your attention, please:” and then he launches into a feline diatribe that sounds somewhat oriental (a bunch of “ngao” and “gong” sounds) followed up with an “ooooh wow!”
