HairballsI have two outside cats and have never seen them bring up hairballs (although Rosie does make herself sick regularly from eating the dogs food!!). Do you think they are bringing them up outside and does eating grass help with this?

Cassie is an outside cat and she does eat a fair bit of grass. She nearly always chooses to bring up her hairballs during the night indoors!  I'm sure the grass helps as there is nearly always some blades of grass along with the hairball... |

I have 5 outdoor cats and never have any furballs - I think its because they are always eating grass and being sick outside rather than in the house! |

Patch has access to outside and I've never seen him bring up a furball. |

Misty has done this once or twice indoors and it is full of grass. Think Chloe must do it outside as she has more outside access than Misty. Rather they do it outside than inside though! |

Rosie, here's an interesting link to cats/grass/hairballs ... http://www.pawsonline.info/grasseating.htm Leia is an indoor cat, but she eats grass daily, and never has had a hairball; I do brush her nightly. |

Patches, the tortie who regularly threw up hairballs even after daily grooming continued to do so even after I started giving her Petromalt a few times a week! That's a petroleum based gel flavored so cats like it and it supposedly aids in having hair go thru the other end, not being regurgitated! Didn't work for her! |
