If you have an adult cat at home, you’ve either already encountered hairballs or you soon will. Nearly every cat breed makes them, and hairballs are a hot topic during vet visits. The right cat food can help.
Where do hairballs come from? All cats self-groom, and that’s where the trouble starts. Ongoing grooming can lead to hair building up in a cat’s throat or stomach. The result is gagging or retching that delivers a nasty pile on the floor.
How do I know if I have a problem? When so much hair builds up inside your cat that it can no longer be coughed up, you may have a problem. Hair that moves beyond the stomach can become firm or even hard in the intestines. If it cannot move, surgery may be necessary. Call your veterinarian if you see warning signs:
-
Vomiting
-
Retching
-
Excessive gagging
-
Constipation or extraordinary amount of hair in stools
-
Loss of appetite
-
Less energy
