Symptoms of a hairball include hacking and gagging and vomiting up the hairball. However, some hairballs cannot be eliminated by your cat. They can plug up some part of his or her digestive system.
In any case, if your cat has lost his appetite it may or may not be a hairball problem and you really should get him to the vet soon. When a cat goes for a couple of days without eating, it causes problems with their liver (among other things). I think the liver thing is called something like lipodosis. So then you'd have whatever your cat's first health problem is plus the problem caused by not eating for a while. Take him to the vet.

Doesn't sound like a hairball issue. That mess they spit up...may want to consider taking kitty to a vet.

Please take him to your vet asap. Hairball symptoms are just coughing it up. He's probably not meowing as loud because he's in some sort of discomfort. Take him to your vet PLEASE.
