Daily brushing is good, but it also loosens hair that gets trapped on
the underside of the long coat if you don't use the right kind of comb.
Use a comb after you brush to pick up the dead hair from the undercoat.
Also use a damp cloth over him to pick up stray hair. This will help the
hairball problems. You can also use a dietary aid like Laxatone once or
twice a week to loosen things up so the hair is passed instead of
vomited.

Do see the vet - coughing can also be a sign of a respiratory problem,
especially in snub-nosed breeds like Persians.

Cat do get hairballs occasionally, though. I have only one cat who has
never had one (that's I've seen anyway - Isis). The other two both have
them from time to time.

Hey, if you got it flaunt it! If you don't, stare
at someone who does. Just don't lick the TV screen,
it leaves streaks.
