Smudgie! We have a cat named Smudge. And another Smidgen. Is yours a cow kitty as well? Smudge was named for his spots.

I'd try something other than Friskies, that might help.
Smudgie is a grey black white cow
cat. :) The name really came becuase of the smudge on his nose. IT just stick out at ya. Pudgie lived right up to his name. :) He has the cutest round face and always find him in the cat food back even when there is food in his bowl. He still wools a bit but less and less as the months go by. Smudgie doesn't wool


About the anal glands. All clear. No signs of problem with that. I looked that one up too. http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=1+1322&aid=509

Thank you all So nice to find loving people who care. We so love cats and they know it too. :)
A grain free diet will slow down the constant eating quite a bit.

I agree with the diet change idea; this is most likely a diet issue. Milk, contrary to generations of cartoonists, is not recommmended for cats, but if you have kefir or yogurt you might try a little of that. They don't all like it, but if your guy does a tablespoon or two a day won't hurt him, and may help his intestinal fauna.
I've only had this problem with kittens - my older cats tend to upchuck, but not *pass gas*. Oh, but the kittens!!! We have a saying in our family: "Who Woozeled?", after one very notorious kitty - Woozel passed green, stinky clouds that could clear a room :lol:

Ours do great on raw milk.
Pasteurized will do bad things though.

Some areas have groups called Animeals, which delivers donated pet food to shut ins recieiving the meals-on-wheels program.
