How to Prevent Hairballs and How to Get Rid of Them

Nothing is quite so alarming as hearing the “hack-hack-
hack” of a cat trying to cough up a hairball. And almost
nothing is as disgusting as seeing one on the floor, un-
less it is stepping on it at night in bare feet. Ughh!
Seriously though, although hairballs may be the topics
of jokes among thoughtless humans, they are a source of
discomfort or worse, for cats. Hairballs pose a potential
danger by blocking the passage of digested food through
the intestines, causing an impaction. Hairballs are form-
ed when a cat grooms itself and swallows hairs. Since
hair is not easily digested, it can compact with undigest-
ed food in the stomach and gastrointestinal tract.
Impactions are serious business, and sometimes must be
removed surgically. In lesser cases they can cause pain-
ful constipation, something no concerned caregiver wants
to wish on her cat.

LitterMaid Air Cleaner
Keep Air Around The Litter Box Fresh & Clean…

Retail Price: $29.99
DEAL PRICE: $9.99
Get Two for $15.98

This is one of those deals that I am still amazed we got.
The retail on this is $29.99 and we’re selling it for $9.99.

Yep, you read it correctly… $9.99. It’s the LitterMaid
Air Cleaner and I remember seeing these advertised in a well-
known catalog for $29.99 (I’ve actually seen it for more
in stores).

The LitterMaid Air Cleaner is a continuous fan that easily
attaches to the litter box. Its consistent action filters
odors to make the air around the litter box fresh and clean.
It is absolutely fragrance-free as it works to absorb odor
instead of masking.

It just needs to be clamped on the litter box and plugged in
to be able to operate it for 24 hours a day.

Grab one for $9.99 or get two for $15.98. One thing, this
low price ensures they will sell out fast. Don’t wait.

How to Recognize Hairball Problems:
Cylindrical (cigar-shaped) masses on the floor or furn-
iture. Once you’ve seen one, you’ll never forget!

Constipation, or hard stools with hair showing.

Dry, matted coat

Frequent dry coughing or hacking, particularly after
meals

Lack of interest in eating.

Depression or lethargy.

It would be wise not to wait until these symptoms appear,
as hairballs can be so easily prevented. The number one
way to avoid hairballs on the floor and in your cat is:
Brushing!

Most cats enjoy being brushed, and the bonding that
develops during cat and human during these brushing
times is an added bonus. Our cats will practically
brush their own faces. One of us holds the brush
still, and Bubba or Jasper will rub his face against
the bristles, purring to beat the band. Bubba even
enjoys being vacuumed following a brushing; he learned
at a very early age that the vacuum is harmless, and
it’s like having his own personal spa.
