What’s the big hairy deal?
I have been chatting with fellow cat lovers here at the Mail Tribune. (I was going to say ’cat owners’ - but we all know the true alpha mammal in the human/feline combo.)
Anyway, back to the topic at hand - hairballs. What the heck?
This seems to be a seasonal affliction. Moving into high gear during shedding season when I start thinking perhaps I should figure out how to cure Squiggy of her belly burps. Then the problem will wane significantly. To the point where it seems an issue not worth addressing. Aka ”No puke? No problem!”
For the past couple weeks, Squiggy has been gurfing up little furry packages every few days or so. They appear on the carpet in the morning, on my bedspread in the middle of the night, or on the sofa whenever the spirit moves her. Yuck!
One of my cohorts is also dealing with a cat in hairball high gear. She says it strikes her as odd because this isn’t the Season of the Big Shed.
I know there are foods that are designed to help with this problem. But Squiggs is on a special diet already. I’m sure the vets have medicines. My friend says a little dab of Vasoline is also recommended.
Any one else having off-season hairball issues with their puddys? And are there any other homegrown remedies readers know about?
