Instead of buying all those expensive, oil based, comcoctions for the cats, to prevent hairballs, a very inexpensive substitute can probably be found in your bathroom medicine cabinet. It's plain 'ole Vaseline. I've been using it for years and my cats know the sound of the metal lid coming off the jar and come running. The crazy cats even sit outside the bathroom door when I am taking a shower in order to get 'dibs' on some when I get out. Haven't had a problem with hairballs in years!!! Just in case your cats don't particullary like the taste, you can put a glop of some on their paw and they will lick it off to clean themselves. jill c. arnson ihnp4!drutx!jca AT&T ISL, Denver -- jill c. arnson ihnp4!drutx!jca AT&T IS, Denver (303)538-4800 "Excuse me,...
