Is it normal for a cat to vomit a full meal just to get rid of a hairball? My cat is very fussy about being brushed, so it's hard to get her hair out. She's of medium length. She's been vomiting about once a week or every other week or so, and it's always a full meal that comes up, with either a small grape's worth of hair in it, or hair is mixed into the food that she has eaten. The food looks mushy but you can recognize what it is; somewhat lumpy still. She's on Nutro Natural Adult kibbles, and she's 1 yr old. Somebody said to add oil to her food. Do you agree?
I just bought her a new big bag of food and I really don't want to toss that much food. But I think it might be a good idea to get her on hairball food? Or is there anything else recommended for hairballs?
Can I expect that hair is the reason for her vomiting? I will be taking her in to the vet for a check-up soon, so will ask the vet then. But I'd love your input.
