Hairball question

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Just curious... Do shorthair cats ever get hairball issues like long hair cats?
Neko loves to groom and I try to brush her daily. She does shed alot.

the worst hairball I have ever seen came from a very short haired cat

Sure, they do. It all depends on how much the cat sheds and how much undercoat they have. I have a DSH that can be a worse shedder than my DLH - I have to keep him brushed regularly to prevent hairballs and to prevent fur all over things.

Higher quality foods can help reduce shedding. And keep up grooming her - various deshedding tools may help. A furminator or zoom groom, but neither can be used daily, though, because they will pull out too much fur and damage the coat.
