Re: Moulting


Tuna is very high in polyunsaturated fats which cats Cant metabolize.
It also depleats vitamin E and can give them yellow fat disease.
contains very high levels of Mercury
basicly they can get very addicted,most can meats contain Tuna because cats love the taste of it.They can get a disease which is like the shakes cant remember what its called.
You would be better off giving sardines .
Theres a big debate about it in rawpaws.
i used to feed Tuna but im very carfull now after we had an issue with a big cat food chain and all i will say is we won.Now i wont feed it and thats why i feed the diet that i do,
At the end of the day the choice is yours

Re: Moulting


sardines are a much safer way to treat your cats and for hairball control has the same affect.I didnt mean to scare any one BUT you need to be aware

Re: Moulting


I've been trying the vaseline on her paws and she does lick it off but she is still shedding a lot of hair. Perhaps it's early days yet to see any results.
She always sleeps in a chair at night and as if by magic, it is transformed into a mohair one by morning!!
