Please help! :-(
I have a 10 year old Flame Point Siamese that is white/very light tan. I took him to the Vet 3 times within a month because he would vomit ALMOST daily, immediately after he ate. After bloodwork and every test known to man, we had nothing. My Vet finally said he was pretty sure Cody had a hairball he couldn't get up and may need surgery. I woke up the next morning and found literally, the biggest hairball I've ever seen. At first I thought my Pit Bull had "the runs" and left me a cow-sized patty to clean. Upon further investigation, including dissecting, I found it was 100% hair. However, all the hair was black. I do have black cats, but I assure you Cody doesn't groom them. Plus, I've had Cody less than 2 months. He prefers to keep distance between himself & the others.
He's yet to puke since this massive hairball was up chucked. With 5 cats, I don't want to email my vet this question, as I am always sending him stuff :-(
Is it possible for a white cat to have a black hairball?
