HELP. HAIRBALLS EVERYWHERE!

[nimlezz]

My mom is freaking out on me because everyday Meesh throws up huge hairballs o. The carpet.
I groom her everyday but i think theres a whole lot of hair on her belly side but evrytime i try to groom that part she bites me. (She was declawed when i adopted her so she cant really scratch me..)

What do i do???

Welcome to The Cat Site.
You could give her one capsule of Egg Yolk Lechitin which dissolves hair balls internally. Get the capsule form, because then you can open it and sprinkle it on to her food. Taste pretty good too (well, to a cat it does).
Meanwhile, I would still try to brush her, for just a really short time, like seconds or a minute, and give her a treat once you're done. See how that goes.

 I didn't know about egg yolk lecithin for hairballs!  Thanks, Ritz.  :-)   Hopefully it will work for your kitty, nimlezz.

Thanks!

How many times and when do i give it to her??

Give her one capsule a day, sprinkle on food (wet I hope!), when you think she is the most hungry.
Good luck, and let us know how it is going.

Frequent vomiting of hairballs is actually not normal for cats. I recently learned this. Here's an article:
