Thread: Fur balls and yet more fur balls!

Some MCs groom a great deal and this time of year (when they are shedding) you may get some hairballs being coughed up. One of our two females is a big groomer and she has had several over the last couple of weeks (sometimes one every other day!). On the other hand, I don't think our two year old red male has had more than one hairball ever. You can get a paste to feed them which helps hair move through, made of castor oil and the like. We have a couple of brands we have used. Some cats love it and will lick it up, but others will not.

As for those with young cats...we have not had hairballs from the young cats (<1yr) as they just don't have the hair yet.
