Da best way to treat hairballs is prevention. Groomin ur cat regularly iz by far da best way to control dem furs afore dey get into ur kitty’s belly!
A qwik googley search tells us dat we kittehs spend most of our waking time (and since we sleep 16-20 hours a day) we are groomin ourselfs qwite a bit!
According to research up to 2/3 of a cat’s shed hair can be ingested az dey groom. (groomin equals lickin and lickin equals swallowed hairs).
When u halp out by groomin ur kitteh u halp reduce the amount of hair going into der gut to form hairballs. Az i said afore prevention iz da key!
We use da [amazon_link id=”B0040QS3PO” target=”_blank” ]FURminator tool[/amazon_link] cause it removes up to 90% off da loose furs and undercoat wif out hurtin ma loverly top coat.
Now I dunt likes to be brushed. I put da bitey on da FURminator n da human dat iz brushin me affer about four strokes. So ma humanz gotta keep up wif me on a daily basis. Cause I am alreddy on meds to regulates ma poops (I haz contipashuns) and a hairball could cause dat to become worse or even a blockage! So when FURminator came out wif da [amazon_link id=”B0040QS3PO” target=”_blank” ]large cat deshedding tool[/amazon_link] we were very happy. Cause now we gets more of ma furs brushed afore I put da bitey on it! Da tool iz too wide for da little monsters so dey gets to use [amazon_link id=”B000PU31MY” target=”_blank” ]da regular kitteh one[/amazon_link]. We all sez iffen u wanna halp keep ur kitteh healthy and happy FURminate dem regularly!
Since today iz hairball awareness day why not celebrate by going home n groomin ur kitteh? U could make sumfin cool wif da cat hairs when ur dun, MOL.
Disclosure: While I did receive a FURminator product to collect ma furs and to write up a National Hairball Awareness Day post, I still finks grooming ur cat iz da bestest way to avoid hairballs and usin a FURminator to do dat iz a purrty good way of removing undercoat and shed furs. Habbing da product given to me did not color ma opinion in da least it only reinforced wot i alreddy knew.
