and was beneficial to them .... not catnip! but something that would help their coat that they could lick and wouldn't make them sick...Suggestions of natural oil ( olive or other) that would be good to put on cat's coat , that they'd like?
If they're getting enough fat and nutrients in their food, they shouldn't have a problem with dry fur. If you're feeding them a cheap store brand food or a diet food, switch to a regular brand name food - if you're feeding them a brand name food already, buying some kitten food and mixing a very small amount in with their regular food every day will boost the nutrition content. There are also foods that are labeled to help with coat health. Putting oil on your cat won't help with their coat, it'll just annoy them and make them sad because you don't want to pet an oily cat.Suggestions of natural oil ( olive or other) that would be good to put on cat's coat , that they'd like?
You don't need to put oil on your cat. If it is fed a high quality cat food it is getting all the fat that it needs.
My cat has mouth issues and due not being to eat regular food I have tried vegetable oil to add fat to her diet when I was out of nutrical (something for ill cats). It gave her diarrhea and I think any oil might do this to a cat.
Are you sure that you want an oily cat? Plus generally animals don't like to lick off any oil no matter what it tastes like, the texture is just disgusting, if you don't believe that then down some straight olive oil yourself.
There's Alaskan Salmon Oil in a bottle in many pet stores that is good for fur and skin, but I'm not sure if it's just for dogs. But you put it on their food, not their skin.
I have heard putting vegetable oil in their food helps.
