CATDOLL : What to do if your cat vomits hair balls

Reasons why cats vomit hairballs

1. Cats are prone to hair loss and have many barbs on their tongues. Cats like to lick their hair very frequently, so many hair balls will accumulate in their bodies.

2. Cats need to eat hairball paste or cat grass every day or every period of time. These things can lubricate the intestines, promote intestinal peristalsis, etc.

3. The hairballs in the cat's intestines are vomited out due to the effect of hairball paste or cat grass. This is a normal physiological reaction of the cat. If the hairballs are not vomited out, it will cause intestinal blockage.

Solutions to cat vomiting hairballs

1. Comb your cat’s hair every day to reduce the amount of cat hair it eats.

The reason why cats vomit hair is that when they lick their bodies every day, they swallow a lot of cat hair. These cat hair affect the digestion of the stomach and intestines, so their bodies will expel the cat hair through vomiting to maintain health.

2. Feed cats with hairball remover or cat grass to promote the excretion of hairballs.

Cat combing solves the problem of cat hair intake, while hairball removal cream or cat grass solves the problem of cat hairball excretion. If a cat has excessive cat hair accumulated in its body and cannot excrete it by itself, it may accumulate more and more, forming hairball disease, which affects the cat's health.

3. Excessive licking caused by excessive anxiety can be solved by playing with the dog or changing the environment.

When cats are in a state of anxiety or depression, they will lick their fur to divert their attention and relieve their emotions. If your cats often fall into this state, they will lick their fur more often than normal cats, swallow more cat fur, and naturally spit up more fur. Therefore, solving the root cause of the cat's problem is the key.
