The cats have revolted against the indoor/diet cat food we've been feeding them (that is, unfortunately, the best food we've found so far to keep Tony from throwing up giant clumps of fur all over the place) and spent practically the entirity of last night repeatedly knocking the catfood container over and pawing at it. I had to treat it like a female member of the Avengers and stick it in the fridge in order to get any sleep.

Clearly, despite its effectiveness at hairball control, IAMS hairball/weight control food is not substantial enough for them, and they are *hungry*. I'll have to see if IAMS has a non-weight control hairball treatment option, because it does work better than science diet's version.

Poor kitties. Poor you. I'm suddenly so glad for my sleek, sleek Tonks. They barely shed.

Are you brushing them? My sister has a Scottish Fold - they have a triple coat, incredible amounts of hair - and she used the Furminator brush to reduce her hairball problem.

Your cats may be fuzzier than Sammy is, and it's more expensive, but he has hurked hair up significantly less often on Wellness Indoor than he did on other dry food. As a bonus, and it seems quite food-like, as opposed to the typical cardboard-consistency indoor food.

Of course, he would barely touch the Iams food when I tried it a year or two ago, and I wasn't willing to wait for him to be desperate enough to eat whatever he could get, so I don't have a hairball comparison for that.
