Care of Persian Cats
Dear Aunt Daisy, I am writing to ask you something about a black Persian cat. She has her fur all matted together, and is eating it. Could you tell me in your paper a cure for it? It is coming out in handfuls. Thanking you very much.

Well, my advice to you is-consult the veterinary surgeon at the earliest moment. It is a common thing among Persian cats-the hair being so long takes a lot of hard work on Pussy’s part to keep it perfect; and if she swallows the hair, it can form a "hair-ball" which can make the animal quite ill, and, if not attended to, can be fatal. The vet. will probably advise you what to do, and give pills to break up the hair-balls. In the meantime, you could perhaps assist pussy in her task, by brushing her hair gently each day.
