My calico Jinx is almost 2 and I have had her for about 4 months. She was a wild cat before I adopted her and she took a while to get used to the new surroundings. Within the last 3 months she has gagged up, what I thought was hairballs 5 times now. I wasn't worried at first but she has done it 2 times in the last 3 days. She is long haired and I know that is a big part of it, adn she is an indoor cat, so she spends all day grooming. I have a tabby cat also that does nothing different, but I haven't seen her cough up a hair ball once. I am worried and don;t know what to do. I have noticed special food on the shelves for hairball treatment, but I want to make sure that is what this is. Has anyone experienced anything like this? Do those hairball treats work? Is there a better one than all the rest? Could it be anything more serious? Thank you for any ones help.
