Hairballs are a normal part of a cat's grooming routine, but frequent hairballs should never be ignored.

Cats swallow loose fur while grooming, and an occasional hairball is completely normal. However, if your cat vomits hairballs several times a week or struggles to pass one, it could be a sign that hair isn't moving through the digestive system properly.

Long-haired cats, heavy shedders, and cats during shedding season are more likely to develop hairball problems. In some cases, trapped hair can even cause an intestinal blockage that requires urgent veterinary care.

A balanced diet with the right fibre can help hair pass through the gut naturally. Excessive grooming may also indicate stress or skin irritation, making frequent hairballs a sign of an underlying issue rather than just a fur problem.
