Re: What to do about a hacking cat...
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
My cat has long hair and loves to groom himself..
Keeping clean is a great thing, and cats have less skin problems than dogs because they keep themselves clean.
But all this grooming produces an unwanted side effect..Hairballs!!
I woke up this morning and stepped in a big juicy hairball on the way to the bathroom.. GOOD MORNING!
I am thinking that there are many other cat owners out there with this same problem.
They are some simple solutions, if you havenâ€(TM)t tried anything yet here is what has worked for me..
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
LUBRICATION. An easy way to treat hair balls is by using petroleum jelly (Vaseline). Place ¼ inch in his mouth. If he is uncooperative, then you can place it on his front paws. Use twice daily for 5 days. Tastier versions are available from pet supply stores, such as Felaxin and Laxatone. These are flavored with added nutrients to make the petroleum jelly go down easier.
A FIBER DIET. Additional dietary fiber will aid in the expulsion of hair from the stomach through the intestinal tract. If your cat gets hair balls on a regular basis, then they should be on a high-fiber diet. There are specific veterinary diets higher in fiber. Another option is to add canned pumpkin to their diet; most cats like it.
GROOMING. The less hair your pet has, the lower number of hair balls. Brushing your cat daily will remove loose fur before your cat has a chance to swallow it.
HAIR BALL REMEDY DIETS. There are a few specific hair ball diets. They contain additional dietary fiber as well as papain, a compound found in pineapple to aid in digestion.
PINEAPPLE JUICE. This is used to treat hair balls in rabbits, and may be effective in cats. It contains an ingredient, bromelain, which can break down some hair. The dose would be 1 tsp twice daily, if you can get it into your cat â€" Good Luck!

As you can see, they are many ways to treat your hacking cat at home..And these are only a few of the remedies revealed in my book.
