Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2006It only took him 8 years to figure out
Hurray, Vino has finally figured out how to puke up hairballs! He had done it once before, years and years ago, but since then he would just do this wheezing cough all the time but swallow it all down in the end. I always noticed a lot of hair in his poops when scooping the litterbox. But recently, he spat up a very compact tube of hair. And then another one, and another one. In the last 2 weeks he has done it about 5 times. It is getting warm here and he is shedding quite a bit, probably because he put on a very thick coat over the winter. He hadn't experienced any cold temps in 5 years while we lived in Thailand. Anyway, now that he is outputting the hair from the front, they are no longer showing up in the litterbox. And the wheezing coughing has completely stopped. Yay :-)  SignatureBritta Purring is an automatic safety valve device for dealing with happiness overflow.

It must feel awful trying to chuck them up. >> Hurray, Vino has finally figured out how to puke up hairballs!

It is difficult though because he has to move along while being brushed so I have to pretty much crawl on my hands and knees and follow him around with the brush. There's only so much of that I can take! SignatureBritta Purring is an automatic safety valve device for dealing with happiness overflow.

And the wheezing coughing has > completely stopped. Yay :-) Hi! Oh, we are enjoying it very much, definitely feels like home already. Vino likes having access to the outside via the fully fenced backyard. But naturally he has developed an obsession with the front yard now. It was only a matter of time before that happened. There are a few cats in the neighbourhood which run around out there with bells on their collars. Vino hears them and goes nuts rushing from front window to front window. But I never let him out the front door and he hates me for it! Oh well, can't have everything ;-) Oh yeah, we are in Margaret River, about 3 hours south of Perth.

Lol Bruno sounds just like ours; I have to step over a furry orange doormat just to get in the door as they are so eager to watch the action!! Fortunately our council is very good with educating and encouraging responsible pet ownership, so I see very few cats or dogs wandering around, and the few I do see are obviously 'accidental' escapees rather than habitual wanderers...which is a change from the cities down south where it's open door policy! I'm glad you are enjoying your new life, hope it all continues to go well for you all :) SignatureExcuse the typos. I have a lapful of purry Siamese. In the process of my writing this, they have 1.Clawed their way up my leg 2.Climbed my head, removing several clumps of hair on the way 3Talked incessantly about the shocking food on offer, and what I'm going to do about it 4 Changed Caps Lock a few times 5.Typed several lines of gibberish 6. Demanded continuous cuddles, which means I am typing left handed 7. Put the monitor to sleep 8. Had a fight over who gets which part of The Lap 9.

Yay :-) It takes a good cat slave to appreciate good hairballs. :-) Chak SignatureI've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. --Maya Angelou >Hurray, Vino has finally figured out how to puke up hairballs!

Yay :-) Five hairballs in two weeks! That's so much. It must feel goood to chuck those out. I imagine that much hair would be dangerous if he weren't a shorthair. >> Hurray, Vino has finally figured out how to puke up hairballs!

Well, he's not very short haired. More on the medium side really. I'd say that each hair is at least 1 inch long, and they are extremely fine, downy hairs. He sheds like no other cat I've ever seen.

None of our three hack up hairballs either... Every now and then they crouch down and do the 'hairball wheeze' but nothing is produced. The hair comes out the other end in the litterbox. Silver and Tessie loathe being groomed too :( > Hurray, Vino has finally figured out how to puke up hairballs!

Of course, now you have the delight of stepping in one you didn't see . . . ;-) Ginger-lyn > Hurray, Vino has finally figured out how to puke up hairballs! He had > done it once before This made me laugh. I'd read the group for a long time. I heard about hairballs, nothing, ever. I was so excited when I got one and had to post about it! That's been the one and only here. Tweed |
