Hairballs Are Natural, But Shouldn’t Be Frequent


Hairballs occur when a cat grooms itself and swallows loose fur, which accumulates in the stomach and is typically vomited out. While this is a normal part of feline behavior, frequent hairballs may indicate excessive shedding or digestive issues.

Long-haired breeds and cats that groom obsessively are more prone to hairballs. Regular brushing can reduce shedding and prevent fur ingestion. Providing high-fiber diets or hairball-control treats can also help.

If your cat is producing hairballs more than once every couple of weeks, consult a vet to rule out gastrointestinal problems.
