Cats start licking their fur when they are 3 weeks old. After that, daily life consisted of eating, sleeping, playing, and licking fur. He will spend a lot of time licking himself neatly.

In a multi-cat household, enthusiastic cats will also feed their companions Licking hair.

Cats without companions will also lick stuffed toys and comb their fur. I don’t know if the poop scraper has noticed that cats grooming themselves are very ritualistic and have certain rules. Usually the upper and lower lips → lick one front paw → wipe the head with the wet paw, including ears, eyes, cheeks, and chin → lick the other front paw and clean the other side of the head → lick the front feet and shoulders → lick the side Abdomen → lick genital area → lick hind legs → lick tail. There are small comb-like barbs on the cat's tongue, which can effectively clean dust and dirt from the hair. but! These barbs will bring hair into the stomach. Over time, the hair and chyme accumulate together and cannot be excreted in the normal way, forming hair balls. In severe cases, it may cause blockage of the digestive tract. This is what we often call hair balls. Ball disease. When a cat suffers from hairball disease, it may suffer from retching, reflux, loss of appetite, weight loss, constipation, etc. What the poop remover needs to pay special attention to is that it is impossible to distinguish whether it is hair ball syndrome or other diseases based on symptoms alone. Moreover, cats that can vomit hair do not mean that they do not have hairball syndrome, and cats with hairball syndrome do not necessarily vomit. Therefore, if you suspect that your cat has hairball disease and has developed severe symptoms, you should take it to a pet hospital for examination as soon as possible. If necessary, perform ultrasound, X-ray, hematology and other related examinations. If a foreign body is found in the gastrointestinal tract, suspected to be a hair ball, and has caused obstruction, it may be necessary to open the abdomen and remove it through surgery.

At this time, not only will the cat suffer, but the scavenger will also suffer. My wallet hurts, and my heart aches even more.

In order to avoid this situation, the prevention of hair ball disease is particularly important! To prevent hairball disease, we must first comb the cat's hair frequently. It can be done once every 2 days. During the shedding season or for cats with long hair, it can be done once a day. The first step is to comb off the floating hair on the body to reduce the amount of hair the cat licks into its stomach.
