You know that wonderful feeling ... walking into the living room and stepping on something wet and squishy ?
Oh yeah... that happens.. more than we would like to admit.
It's never just in one spot.
Noooo
Fluffy has to tour the whole living room.
In my case...Sebby barfs after eating too much.... too fast.
Willow and Cubby are my hairballers.
They take turns.
The barfing has been cut way back after I changed to a grain free dry food.
But don't tell Purina..my Cats do not get any of their delicious corn.
They never have...I have never fed them that brand.
Sebby, Willow & Cubby fall under - Gastrointestinal Disorder
Sebby is only an occasional barfer...
Willow & Cubby are occasional hairballers...
Considering the foster kitties..and my meows.. I am surprised at how little I find ...
But you still get that instant -Eww- feeling when you step on something.
Hairballs
Both Willow and Cubby are long haired kitties.
Willow goes through phases where she is more obsessive over her grooming.
Cubby...yeah the old thing.. old man hackin up hairballs.
I have seen some of the kittens eat fur.. so if you have a little one that tends to act like a silly puppy and eats everything off of the floor - pick the stuff up off of the floor..or step in the results of it.
Both Vomiting and Hairballs can be a sign of something else.
Or
Their occurrence or even lack of occurrence can be cause for concern.
Know your kitty...
Cats may be strange.. but they tend to be consistently strange.
Meaning - you can tell if a weird cat is being abnormally weird.
When in doubt.. talk to a Vet.
If you are concerned it is best to seek help from a vet first.
The internet is a wealth of knowledge ...but compared to a Veterinarian - it is a know it all robot - with you as its controller.
You may be a moron.. I am not saying you are...I am saying that you could be.
You could also be Batman...
Trichobezoars
Sounds like a Dinosaur
Isn't.
It's another word for Hairball.

The cats would like to hear from the humans.
