This has happened with me and Cabbit before, except there is no one else around to eat the hairball. I think Cabbit literally pukes up invisible hairballs sometimes...
That being said, my mother in law recently rushed down stairs to our bedroom practically in tears, convinced that Cabbit was dying because he was "Making terrible noises and can't breath" I ran upstairs ready to call the emergency vet, only to be met with a purring Cabbit and an exceptionally large hairball :/
Hairballs happen when the cat swallows hair from grooming itself, and can't expel it out the other end. Usually ti happens when there is a lot of shedding or when kitty is stress grooming, and it happens more with long hair cats than with short hair cats. Cabbit only coughs up hairballs when I forget to brush him daily during shedding season (Spring and fall)
I've been raised with cats in the family ever since I was born. I'm now nearly 40 and my current kitty is the first one that has ever had furballs!
My previous kitty had long hair, but no hairballs. This kitty has long hair too, but unfortunately, furball after furball after furball!! It's not so bad when I can brush him all the time, but even then, he still produces them. So, I guess it just depends on the individual kitty. I'd still never trade him, he's worth every furball.....um, I think! hahaha ")

ReplyDeleteAt least you have less gunk to clean :)
ReplyDeleteWell, that's a plus!

ReplyDeleteSorry!
DeleteThis sort of happens to me, only I would change "HKKK UCKKK HHH" for "SCRASH SCRASH SCRASH" and the hairball for a little cat poop. I know, is grose.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I totally had this happen to me one night... only it was my other CAT that ate the hairball! So gross.

I still can't understand all this about the hairballs... what causes the cats do "make" the hairballs?
ReplyDeleteI've had over 20 cats in my life so far and none of them "made" hairballs... my 5 current cats don't either.

DeleteOne of my cats have long hair, but she never coughs up hairballs... and we don't brush them.
