Your cat may develop hairballs if she ingests more hair than her digestive system can manage. Mucus and saliva mixes with this hair until your cat vomits this mass. Excess hair is ingested generally when your cat grooms herself or companion cats. Brushing your cat(s) helps remove the excess hair before it can be ingested. There are a few things you can do if your cat continues to vomit up hairballs. You can help your cat’s digestive system pass hairballs along smoothly by feeding her hairball control formula food, which introduces roughage. Consider using a hairball gel that your will cat lick off your finger or her paw. These gels also help the hairballs pass through since they act as a lubricant or a laxative. Make an appointment with your veterinarians Columbia, MD for evaluation and possible treatment if your cat vomits a lot of hairballs or if she gags regularly but nothing come up.
