Hairballs in Cats

Many cats spend contented hours grooming themselves, licking repeatedly at their coats, using the rows of tiny hooks on the surface of the tongue to tease out the tangles in their coats and remove unwanted loose old hair.

All very sensible, tidy and sophisticated. The trouble is that the very same hooks on the tongue make it very difficult for a cat to spit the hair out again, and they have no option but to swallow it.

Once in the stomach, the hair mixes with food and gastric juices, easily forming into a firm squidgy mass that has difficulty escaping moving on.

These furballs can remain in the stomach for some time, then being vomited up at some inconvenient or impolite moment, or else they can slowly work their way on through the intestines, causing some discomfort as they go.

You can help relieve this uncomfortable problem with the products found on this page.
