If you’ve ever watched your feline friend cough up a hairball, you know it’s not a pleasant sight. And it’s probably not exactly thrilling for your cat, either. The question is, why do hairballs happen at all? Are they dangerous? And can you help your cat cough up less of them?
Hairballs are a natural occurrence. Your cat swallows her own hair while grooming, and some of it clumps together in the gut and gets regurgitated eventually—the occasional hairball is nothing to worry about. It’s only when hairballs become frequent, your cat seems to be choking, or Fluffy is vomiting regularly that there is cause for concern. Let your vet know if that’s the case. And yes, you can help your pet have fewer hairballs. Feed them a high-quality diet to reduce shedding, and brush Fluffy regularly to remove much of the loose fur from her coat.
