 Works great for us! Mar 13, 2010
By J. Robach
We've been using Kittymalt for years because it is the only product that our cats will eat. One of our cats seriously loves the taste of this stuff, and the other cat will eat it about 75% of the time it is offered. We actually prefer the consistency of Kittymalt to Petromalt. The Kittymalt is slightly syrupy, which means if we put it on the cats' paws they cannot push it off; they have to lick it off. With Petromalt, our cats hate the taste and if we put it on their paws, they just push it off because it forms a more rigid ball.
I guess you have to experiment and find the product that works well for your cats, but definitely give this one a try!

 Hairball/constipation remedy Aug 21, 2009
By Emily
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 exactly what I was looking for May 19, 2010
By Palm Beach Cat
It ended up being a similar brand / flavor. not "Kittymalt"
Worked ok, but not what my cats were hoping for.

Not as good as I thought May 19, 2008
By Sheryl Spencer
"Dustwolf"
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.
 Don't bother Feb 03, 2012

I read reviews before I purchased this and some said their cats wouldn't touch it. I used a hairball remedy similar to this years ago and my cats loved it; however, none of my three cats would touch this.
