Hairball ??'s

Are cats less likely to get hairballs in the winter months? I comb George almost every day (he's not very fond of it) and of course with his "winter" coat I'm not combing out a lot of hair - and he has a lot of long hair!! Also, for the past two months or so, I've been giving him a nightly treat of some wet food (he loooves Meow Mix Selects). Is the wet food helping or just that he's not loosing as much hair this time of year?

I certainly don't miss the hairballs and sure am glad to not be woken up to that awful noise!!

what dry is he eating???

do you brush him daily??

Wet food does seem to help....after I switched Tink to wet, the hairballs went away.

The dry food George eats is Purina One Natural Blends. He does get combed pretty much every day - he's not fond of it so its not a long session but he lets me get in a few swipes . Hairballs were never a BIG problem, every few weeks or so he might have an episode. I just realized that he hasn't had one in a while - not that I'm complaining or anything!
