The roughage helps keep the hair moving through the system and into the litter box. Also ... brush your cat more frequently.

Petromalt was what I was using and now that might not be good because of the glycerin in it and it might have poison in it. What can I use instead?

If you stick it in your nose you can inhale it down your trachea; or, if eaten, it could go down your trachea -- and into your lungs. Resulting in lipoid pneumonia. I learned that in nursing school, plus I've been researching it online. Most just talk about sticking it in your nose -- a no-no. It can be inhaled.

They lick it off their front paws. Petromalt is mostly petroleum jelly. I had no idea it was harmful. Is it because they can inhale it, or how does it become harmful?
