Furball solutions Top Regular combing (rather than brushing) right down to the skin removes a majority of the problem for long and shorthaired cats. Use of cat laxatives lubricates the remainder so it passes more easily. There is now a palatable high fibre food, Hills Feline Hairball Adult Dry Food, which keeps the hair moving along and not balling up into a furball and being re-presented to your carpet.

Excerpt from Cat Care Tips page. That food may have made my cat sick, it was the last thing I gave her before she quit eating. Took her to vet today, hadn't eaten since Sunday, she ate a little tuna tonite so I think she'll be okay. I really think there might be something wrong with that food.
