The Ubiquitous Hairball
Thursday June 24, 2004
Nothing is quite so alarming as hearing the "hack-hack-hack" of a cat trying to cough up a hairball.

Seriously though, although hairballs may be the topics of jokes among thoughtless humans, they are a source of discomfort or worse, for cats. Learn here how to recognize hairballs, how to prevent them, and how to manage them, for your cat's comfort and health.

My cat “Lilly” is 3 years old, she has never had a hairball problem till recently and now it seems that everyday she is coughing up a hairball (usually on my bedroom carpet!) What can I do to help stop this problem for her and for me?
