I have two cats, a 7-year old and a 1-year old. My older cat has only left one furball on the floor since we got him 6 years ago. He sheds 24/7 and seems to never loose hair when I brush him over and over again. He sheds so much that I have to take the hair out of the brush at least three times, because it fills up. He gets hairball stuff about once a week, and it seems to keep him hairball free.
My little girl does not shed like the big guy, but is a lot fluffier. She has really soft downy fur, and she seems to leave clumps of fur around the house, rather than just cat hair everywhere like the older guy. She gets hairball medicine everyday, and is brushed until she starts to attack the brush. I can usually get a good brush full of hair at each brushing. She throws up hairballs every week!!! This has been a habit for the past month. I have now just switched their food to Iams Hairball Control.
Does anyone have any other suggestions on how to control this? I've never had so many hairballs in the 6 years that I've had cats.
