I have a question for anyone out there who has cats with chronic hairball problems-what do you do for them??? Turbo has been working on what I think will be a prize winning hairball now for 5 days, and with no luck of bringing it up. I have used tons of Laxatone to help ease it out or through which ever comes first but with no success- I have him at work with me today to do a little grooming to keep the problem down, but does anyone have any suggestions of what I can do to help him out. He is not feeling well I can tell because he just lays around and does not destroy anything, which is big for him. Thanks.

This is probably the single most important toy I ever bought. I got it when my boy was a kitten and two years later, he still plays with it every day.

Riley gets laxatone twice a week, without fail, or he starts throwing up from hairballs. The only other thing you can do is brush and comb him daily to remove as much of the loose hair as you can. Monthly baths help get rid of the hair also.
Please keep an eye on him, because sometimes a hairball can be serious enough to need a vet, if he can't pass it and becomes blocked.
You can try giving him cat grass regularly also. Riley had some a few weeks ago and within an hour he threw up a big hairball.
