Pull hair spitting is a very common phenomenon in cats, usually caused by licking their hair when they clean themselves. When a cat licks his hair, it inevitably swallows some hairs that will form a ball of hair in the stomach. When the hairball is too large or too much, the cat will vomit to relieve stomach discomfort.

The following are some methods that can help reduce cats' hair spitting:

Regular brushing cat hair: Regular brushing cats' hair can help remove miscellaneous hair from cats and reduce the amount of hair they swallow when licking their hair.

Eating antiemetics: Cats can be given some antiemetics at the advice of the veterinarian to relieve the symptoms of hair spitting.

Increase cellulose intake: Provide cats with some foods containing cellulose, such as vegetables, fruits or oats, can help clear hairballs in the intestines and reduce the occurrence of hairballs spitting.

Use professional care products for cats: There are some products specially designed to prevent cats from spitting out hair, such as cat food containing probiotics and yeast, which can help cats digest their hair better.

Pay attention to the cat's mood: The cat's mood also has an impact on its digestive system. Keeping a cat in a happy mood and reducing anxiety can help its digestive system function healthier.

It should be noted that if the cat frequently vomits hairballs, loses appetite or has other abnormal symptoms, it is recommended to take the cat to the veterinary for examination in time.
