Many pooper scoopers will find that their masters have a problem with vomiting hairballs. The first time my cat vomited hairballs also scared me, vomiting a puddle of yellow water, and very uncomfortable symptoms, was terrified, after the doctor asked to understand, it turned out to be the age, vomiting hairballs, and let me not worry too much, pay attention to it. So why do cats vomit hairballs?

Cats spitting hairballs are naturally related to the fact that they have a thick coat of hair. Careful pooper scoopers will notice that the cat’s tongue is covered with barbs, but these are not barbs. It is there to help the cat eat, drink and lick its fur. Cats are naturally clean animals, and while licking their fur for a long time, they easily swallow the hair into their stomachs, and the hair forms a hairball shape under the action of gastric juice, and it takes a long time before the hairball can be expelled. However, since it cannot be completely decomposed, when the hair ball accumulates to the point that the cat cannot be excreted from the body properly, it will vomit.

See here the pooper scoopers are not more at ease, but the hair ball is also need to pay attention to!

When a cat vomits a hairball, the cat’s posture is one of curled up limbs with a vomiting sound, and the hairball comes out in the shape of a strip with some undigested food and yellow water, as well as some bubbles. But such a hairball is a sign of health. When they vomit, but not the hairball, then the cat may have other diseases and needs to be taken to the hospital for diagnosis.

Some cats with a poor digestive system are unable to pass the hairballs completely. When the hairballs are blocked in the large intestine, it will cause constipation, and the cat will suffer from loss of appetite and poor mental health. At this time, surgery is necessary to solve the problem.

When cats accumulate too much hair in their stomachs, the intestines become blocked and they produce hairball stools, or in more severe cases, they do not pass stools. The body will gradually lose weight and the size of the stomach will become more and more distended. It does not like to exercise and is often thirsty. If left untreated, digestive disorders will form and eventually lead to organ failure and death. It is also a very serious consequence!

In order to avoid hairball syndrome in cats, pooper scoopers can comb the hair more often to remove the floating hair so that cats do not lick the hair too much and form hairballs. Cat grass can also be fed to cats. When cats eat a lot of hair that cannot be discharged, they can use cat grass to induce vomiting. Cat grass can also be eaten at regular intervals to cleanse the intestinal tract.
