My cat Yoshi has been periodically trying to hack something up for about 3 days now, which I assume is a hairball. Yesterday he did cough up some saliva, but nothing else, no fur or food.

It seems to be bothering him. Is there a product which will assist in either making the hairball go down or come up?

Thanks!

Ditto..and I'll add that it might not be a hairball. Cats will gag and spit up saliva for other reasons...like when they have drainage or irritation in their thoat from a virus or other infection of some kind. Only way to know is to go to the vet.
