Well, I take flaxseed oil capsules and have tried the meal before in pancakes myself, because I know flax oil is a source of omega fatty acids. The
omega fatty acids (the
good ones) have anti-inflammatory properties. And as an added bonus, they are supposed to help lift mood. Of course, since freshwater fish has omega fatty acids in them too, giving the cat some of that kind of fish (if it doesn't have a bunch of bad stuff with it) could potentially help also.
