How do you know if your cat has a hairball?

Answer 1

The only way you will know is if you hear your cat making a choking, gagging noise or you actually see the cat throw it up. This can be remedied by "hairball medicine", but a less expensive home remedy is to alway's feed dry food and once a week mix 1 teaspoon of regular cooking oil on the food. Really help's their coat, which they lick to clean themselves.....resulting in a hairball! Hope this helps.

Answer 2

You know what is great for hairballs? A little vaseline on your finger, the cATS lick it up.

Answer 3

Often they choke and act like they are going to vomit. Eating grass helps them with that as does adding vegetable oil to their food.
Brush the cat's fur so there isn't so much loose hair to get in their stomach when they wash themselves.

Answer 4

My mate had a cat that he recorded on his phone, just hacking up.

Give them oily fish once a week to make it ease throught their digestive system.

Answer 5
