WHAT MY MOM DID DIFFERENTLY

My Mom Raised 40+ Cats — Here’s What She Did Every Day

What she did daily made a bigger difference than I ever expected

I didn’t think much of it… until the day it stopped. And it turned out to be the reason her cats rarely had hairballs.

By Marilyn Hensley - February 25, 2026

My mom had 44 cats in her lifetime.

 

And many lived into their 20s.

 

When I tell people that, they don’t believe me.

 

“Cats don’t live that long.”
“It must be genetics.”

 

But there was one thing I knew that they didn’t…

And I didn’t realize how important it was until much later.

 

For over 30 years, my mom followed the exact same daily routine with every cat she owned.

 

At the time, I didn’t think much about it.

It was just something she did.

 

Until she passed away.

 

When my mom passed, I inherited two of her cats.

 

Bonnie was 19.
Clyde was 17.

 

And for the first time in decades, that daily routine stopped. 

 

Within a few months… things changed.

Bonnie stopped jumping on the bed.

Clyde’s coat lost its shine.

And the hairballs started coming back.
 

The vet said it was “just aging.” But something didn’t feel right.

Then I remembered the routine my mom had followed for decades.

 

So I tried restarting the exact same routine…

 

Within weeks, Bonnie was jumping on the bed again.

Clyde’s coat became soft and shiny.

 

That’s when I finally asked myself the question I should have asked years earlier:

Why did my mom swear by that routine?

I started researching what that simple routine was actually doing…

 

And what I found completely changed how I think about cat health.

 

Cats in the wild naturally chew fibrous plants.

 

That’s how they’ve always helped their bodies move swallowed fur (from self grooming) through their system.

 

But indoor cats do not get access to these plants.

 

So the fur builds up. That’s what leads to:

  • Hairballs
  • Slower digestion
  • Less energy over time

My mom wasn’t doing anything complicated.

 

She was simply helping her cats maintain a natural behavior they were missing.

 

And my mom's secret ingredient?

Cat grass chewing sticks.

 

This Is What I Use Today

The original manufacturer of cat grass chews my mother used no longer exists. So I researched and tried a few other brands.

 

Some are ineffective.

Some contain preservatives and additives.
Some my cats ignored completely.

 

This is the brand that my cats love and works consistently:

 

Cat Whiskerer™ All Natural Cat Grass Chewing Sticks.

 

They are made from all natural, whole ingredients, specially designed to support digestion, improve dental health, and promote overall wellness. All in a convenient, easy to feed stick.

 

If you’re curious what’s inside, here’s six reasons why it's so effective:

Cat Grass

Eases hairballs & supports digestion.

Fresh Chicken

High-protein & filler-free for daily energy.

Fish Oil

Rich in omega-3s for coat, skin & joints.

Chicken Liver & Heart

Natural source of vitamins & taurine.

Salmon Puree

Adds flavor & supports a healthy appetite.

Egg Yolk Powder

Boosts immunity & gut health.

The Part I Wish I Understood Sooner

The fur builds up slowly and silently.

You don’t notice anything at all.

 

Until one day your cat is:

  • Slower
  • Lacking appetite
  • Coughing/gagging more

And by then… it’s already been happening for months.

 

Do not make the same mistake I made by waiting.

How Are My Cats Doing Today?

Bonnie is now 22 years old
Clyde is 20 years old

And they’re still healthy, and full of energy.

 

I thought this was just my experience. 

But after looking into it more…

I realized thousands of other cat owners were seeing the same thing.

Cat Owners Are Noticing the Difference

“My cat used to throw up hairballs weekly. After 2 weeks of these sticks it completely stopped.”

 

Emily R. – Boston

“My cat seems to always lack energy and sleeps all day. 

 

After adding Cat Whiskerer’s Cat Grass Chewing Sticks to our routine, my cat is more active and always wants to play.

 

She cannot get enough of the chew sticks!”

 

Jason M. – San Francisco

“At first I was honestly a bit skeptical about trying another product for my cat. 

 

Live cat grass worked well, but required constant watering and lasted only a week or two.

 

Then I discovered Cat Whiskerer’s Cat Grass Chewing Sticks.

 

They are just as effective but come ready-to-eat and have a long shelf life.

 

No more vomitting, no more hairballs.

 

Her breath and teeth have also improved greatly!
