Gizmo left a deposit on the floor this morning right after I cleaned her box. For a minute I thought that it was poo, but on closer inspection I believe it was a hairball. I won't disgust anyone with a picture (anyway the thing has already been consigned to Hairball Heaven) but would appreciate a confirmation of the description:
It was greyish, loose, and appeared to consist of bits of cat litter as well as cat hairs. It didn't have a firm texture, rather more gravelly than anything else. Gizmo's litter is ground corncob and is gravelly.
It was rather wet;
It was in two pieces, well away from the litterbox.
My problem is that if this is a hairball, Gizmo clearly ingests some litter while she is cleaning herself. The manufacturer claims that all ingredients are safe, but I am a little concerned since the thing seemed to have a sizable amount of the stuff in it.
Gizmo's otherwise in perfect health.
any help (gross or not) would be appreciated.
