Umm, I think if you did that it could just end up giving him hairballs, and if he didn't digest it properly, could even make the constipation worse!

My older cat that lived a length of time outside on a farm hunting used to bring us dead mice as gifts all the time, and he also killed and ate a bunch too--he was a murdering fool when it came to mice!

I would find piles where he threw up fur and bones of animals, so I don't think it would be a good idea to ADD hair into his diet.  I don't totally agree with that article, just from seeing all the barn cats throw up remnants of their hunted meals, because he wasn't the only one I saw do that.  The hair might just bind up in his intestines.

I agree with pushylady, I think he would get worse!
