Hairballs And Your Cat

Hairballs And Your Cat

Cats are masters at grooming, perhaps you have witnessed just how meticulous they're whenever it is time to this little routine?

Nevertheless even the absolute most assiduous cat would certainly swallow pieces of hair whenever they are grooming it is simply natural.

All is not lost though there are many approaches you will be able to help, though, with the help of a little care and attention, hairballs don't have to be an issue.

Here are some tips to hey out your feline companion:

  • Long-haired cats should really be brushed daily with short-haired cats a couple times a week. (Cats lose additional hair in the warmer months!)
  • Is she not a fan of the brush? Do not worry, there are many options. Try a brush with different bristles, a glove or a comb.
  • If hairballs are causing her grief, try switching to hairball reducing food or maybe even a mild laxative.

When you should take her to see a vet

  • Your cat has been vomiting several times a month or more (particularly for a couple of successive months)
  • She is gagging or retching frequently but she is not actually sick
  • Her appetite has gone
  • There is diarrhoea or constipation
