teeth wipe and a metallic one. The former will help you dissolve and remove tightly knotted
hairballs without causing any pain or discomfort to your cat. The latter, used subsequently
will remove excess of loose puffy hair and decrease the possibility of reoccurrence the next

help of a clean cotton cloth.
