How do you stop cats from having hairballs?

Make sure that you keep them combed or brushed,as they will not ingest as much hair when they groom themselves. You can also feed a good food that helps to prevent hairballs. Also you can get something from your vet to give them for hairballs. Long haired cats are more likely to have this problem.
