I've tried this trick and had to clean the dried catlax off her
paw the next day.  She HATES the stuff, but has chronic
constipation.  I put some on my finger and rub it on the roof of
her mouth.  She eats it, but glares at me for hours afterward.
sigh.  Does anyone know of a food or diet additive that would 
preform the same function as catlax type products?
