Hi!
Can you brush her more frequently, so that she's ingesting less hair at a time?

You could maybe consider adding a teaspoon of plain pumpkin to her food now and then.

Also if you're only feeding kibble, try and add a can of wet food to her diet sometimes.

All these things will help her digestive system :)

I agree with Furballsmom Furballsmom get a good cat brush, and brush her daily, can be a quick daily brush, just a few min. Then once or twice a week give her a good long grooming. I also got a Furminator for cats, it works wonders. I use it every week or two, then the regular cat brush the rest of the time.
