Advanced warning, this thread is a little gross. Do any of your cats have hairball problems? My cat, Prim, is the first cat I've ever owned who coughs up hairballs regularly. I brush her every night to help cut down on the hairballs, and it has helped a little, but she still coughs them up at least weekly. Does anyone have anything they've tried that has been effective for hairballs? I don't know if it is normal, but it seems to take her a while, and a lot of weird noise making, to cough up each hairball. I find it a little disturbing, but mostly I'm worried that it can't be good for her to hack for ten minutes. Is there anything that I can give her that would at least make it a touch easier? I'm going to start brushing her both morning and night and see if that helps the situation at all, but if anyone else has any ideas please let me know. I would be grateful for any information you have.
