If your pet cat is one of the long-haired breeds then you have encountered hairballs at one time or another. It might not be something that you will adore about your cat, but having the knowledge on how to manage this issue significantly helps long-term.
When your pet cat is trying to hock up a hairball, you might feel somewhat overwhelmed because it will seem like a more serious thing is happening. Knowing what signs to watch out for could let you help your pet cat better as she is working through this problem.
Your cat will groom herself by licking her fur. This habit is chiefly where hairballs start. Try having a feel of your pet’s tongue. Cat tongues are somewhat rough. The texture is due to barbs that face backward, a feature of a cat’s tongue which helps with the grooming. Stray hairs get caught in these barbs, and because they point backward, the only direction these stray hairs go is down the throat.
Frequent hairball episodes should be brought to the attention of your veterinarian Derby.
