 Hairball/constipation remedy August 21, 2009
E. Carrington (Portland, Maine)
My long hair cat suffers from hairballs; besides constant brushing, the vet recommended a hairball remedy gel. I'm picky about what my cat eats and didn't like that "sugar" was a main ingredient in some other hairball remedy gels. I chose this one because it seemed the "healthiest" of all at the store - ideal for "overweight or diabetic cats", it said. My cat is neither overweight or diabetic, but I liked that the product was "sugar free" and 8-in-1 is a product line I used to trust for my parakeets (when I had parakeets as a kid)...
After bringing it home, I was surprised that my cat HATED the taste of this. I put it on my finger and on a plate in front of him but he walked away. It's very liquid consistency made it a complete mess to give to my cat, who shook it off his paws and nose and sat huffy in the corner at me for a long time! (Cat spite! ;)) -- and it ended up all over my apartment and in his fur, which unfortunately, made his coat look really greasy and yucky and discolored on the white patches of his fur. (I guess the product has some kind of color to it, even though it comes out clear!) I was very upset, and it was stressful for both of us.
The product (even though it doesn't say this on the tube) CANNOT be mixed with food because it prevents the absorption of vitamins/nutrients in the digestive track - so my cat had to take it on its own.
I figured out that if you put the tube of hairball remedy in the fridge it thickened up a bit -- making it easier to administer - but it didn't improve the taste for my cat, unfortunately. He vehemently hates this product, and now me for having to give it to him.
I only put up with it for 3 days out of the recommended 5.
It was just too much hassle and stress. Plus, it didn't seem to do anything. He was still coughing and constipated. Worse, he vomited on the 2nd day of giving this to him. Forget it.
Back to the vet we go -- or perhaps to try another gel paste -- maybe Petromalt this time, which I hear many cats will eat right out of the tube!
Not as good as I thought May 19, 2008
Sheryl Spencer (Auburn, WA)
I bought this and at first I thought it was going to work. But, after two days of using this, my cat started throwing up again and became lethargic. I discontinued using it and went back to Petromalt. Now, my cat is perking up again and getting sick less. It may work good for others, but not with my cat.
Its ok October 10, 2007
J. Downey (Waterbury, CT United States)
This product is much cheaper than competitor "Petromalt" and I guess you get what you pay for. The KittyMalt is very runny and greasy and our cats do not like it. The Petromalt is thick, and stays where you put it and the cats go crazy for it. I don't know if we just got a bad tube of it, but I will not buy again. You get 1/2 as much product for more money of the Petromalt, but its worth the extra money.
 Works like it says it should September 14, 2007
Cat Lady (NH)
I got this product because my cats seemed to be trying to hack up hairballs but were just not getting the job done (although they were managing to wake me up almost every night). The paste is really greasy but two of my three cats love it and think they are getting a teat when they see the tube. I just put a little on a spoon and they lick it right up. I have been giving it to them once or twice a week now for a month or so and the hacking is much less and I have not been awakened in the night to strange kitty noises. I would recomend this to someone who's cat is not too picky because I don't think it would be a good time to try and get a cat to eat it if they do not want to.
 inconsistent texture but does seem to work July 18, 2007

Sometimes this product has the texture of toothpaste and other tubes are VERY runny! I prefer the toothpaste texture because the cat will lick it off of my finger if it will only STAY there. However, that said, either way, once I get it in her, it works well.
