Hey! I have a few questions on hairballs that I hope you can answer! Do all cats get hairballs? When is cat shedding season? Typically, when do cats get hairballs? What can you do to prevent hairballs, and do you only have to do this when you suspect a hairball, during shedding season, or all the time, etc.? I think that's all for now! Thanks!!

My cats tend to shed spring and fall and have hairballs at least 1-2 times a year. to avoid them you need to get a hairball treatment and give it to them according to what the package says and if you think they have a hairball you give it to them as many times as the package says in order to get rid of them.......but to be on the safe siide i would get it from the vets office and go by what directions they give you!

Animals are the best compainions, they never talk back

My cats seem to shed more during the spring months. As for hairballs I feed a premium cat food (Nutro natural choice) ever since I started feeding the cats this they have not had hair balls. Though long haired cats tend to have more hairballs then short hair cats. They get hairballs when they injest their hair while washing themselves.. The better foods help break it down so they can pass it.
