What is Feline Hairball

Cats most often use their tongues to comb their hair. This common action will inadvertently ingest and swallow the hair, and the hairball will slowly block the intestines. When the hairball is too big for the cat to spit out, it is called "" Hairballs in Cats".

✱ 7 risk factors for cat hairball disease

1. Skin disease: cats often lick wounds due to illness

2. Stress: cats lick excessively due to factors such as separation and environmental changes

3. Long-haired cats: The proportion of hairballs is higher than that of short-haired cats

4. Moulting season: in spring and autumn every year

5. Uncombed hair: The owner does not assist in cleaning the hair regularly

6. Postpartum female cat: brought in during the process of licking the kitten

7. Poor living environment: Contamination causes hair to form into balls and accidentally ingested during grooming

Usually need to pay attention to the daily diet and maintenance of hairy children, to avoid minor illnesses leading to serious illnesses!
