Yes the vet did say that too - he does have very long hair - and I did
get a tube of laxatone - I will give him that in the evening the
flagil in the morning.
I do find that grooming him I get less hair than I get off my short
hair cats. I brush them all every 3 days and him daily. I get a little
ball of hair off him and a handful of each the other cats. But the vet
said to try the laxatone just incase. She also said he could be over
eating sometimes.
She did not do xrays today - she said he is thin enough she should
feel if he has a problem - and he wasn't tender. If he doesn't improve
then she will xray him.
I hope these things fix him up. He seems totally normal other than the
throwing up.

If it is hairballs, he could be getting them from grooming the other cats.
My two cats are constantly grooming each other. So even though you are not
getting so much fur off of him, to think he doesn't shed much, he could be
getting the fur from the cats who are shedding a lot. Maybe try brushing
them all every day to see if it makes a difference.

You might try growing some oat grass for him to nibble on. My cats use
it a lot and they seldom vomit.
