Cat Forum / General Topics / January 2006furball problem?
i've never seen my cat chuck up a furball. how do i know if he has a furball problem? Well, I'm not an expert but I can tell you how things go with Isis. Isis is a long-haired cat. Cats groom themselves, of course. Thus they end up swallowing their own hair. I know that with Isis once her hair gets too long and she hasn't been given a bath she will vomit up bits of semi-digested food that contains the hair she has swallowed. After a bath and a trim much of the loose hair has been removed. Further, she doesn't spend nearly as much time grooming herself. Everything calms down and she is more relaxed. It may be that if you have a short-haired cat there never will be a problem.

Your cat is an imposter i tell you! All cats puke up furballs. Bry you have no idea what you are talking about I have had and currently have cats that have never puked up a furball. It can depends on how much of a groomer the furball is > Bry you have no idea what you are talking about I have had and currently > have cats that have never puked up a furball.

Trust me, if he ever has a furball problem, you will know. You will either step on it in your bare feet on your way to the bathroom in the wee wee hours or he will do you the honour of allowing you to witness the process. I don't think any of our cats have upchucked a hairball. We do give them a cream and they seem to like it. Rainbow has vomited, but not hairballs. Although that was no fun to either witness or almost walk in (I've been lucky so far).

Hi Edie, You really only need to worry if your cat can't eject a furball. In this event, Moggychops will cough, gurgle horribly and physically retch and strain as he tries to expel the offending furball. Sometimes a thin, mucousy fluid spurts forth, but little or nothing else. You will not mistake this event if it happens! Your cat sounds okay, but if you observe the above, try your cat on a furball remedy or take him to the vet. Of course, there's always the outside chance that your cat has swallowed something it shouldn't and is trying to dislodge the obstruction. For this reason, it's always a good idea to monitor your cat if it displays coughing or retching symptoms. Spider |
