In a multi-cat family, enthusiastic cats will also lick their companions' hair.
Cats without companions can also lick plush toys and comb the hair of the shoveler. I wonder if the cat shoveler has noticed that cats combing their hair is very ritual and has certain rules. Usually, the upper and lower lips → wet one front paw → wipe the head with wet paws, including ears, eyes, cheeks, chin → wet the other front paw, clean the other side of the head → lick the forefoot and shoulders → lick the side abdomen → lick the reproductive part → lick the hind legs → lick the tail. There are small comb-like barbs on the cat's tongue, which can clean up dust and dirt from the hair well. but! These barbs will bring hair into the stomach. As time accumulates, hair and chyme accumulate together and cannot be excreted from the body through normal means, forming hairballs. In severe cases, it may lead to gastrointestinal blockage. This is what we often call hairballs. When a cat suffers from erectile dysfunction, it may experience dry retreatment, reflux, loss of appetite, weight loss, constipation, etc. What needs to be paid special attention to is that it is hypnotic or other diseases based on symptoms alone. Moreover, cats that can spit out hair do not mean they do not have erectile dysfunction, and cats with erectile dysfunction may not necessarily vomit. Therefore, if the cat is suspected to have erectile dysfunction and has serious symptoms, it is still necessary to take it to the pet hospital for examination as soon as possible, and conduct ultra-B, X-ray, hematology and other related examinations if necessary. If a foreign object is found in the gastrointestinal tract and it is suspected that it is a hairball and has caused obstruction, it may need to open the abdomen and remove it through surgery.
At this time, the cat not only suffered, but the cat shoveler not only had his wallet hurt, but also felt distressed.
In order to avoid this, the prevention of hypnotic bulbism is particularly important! To prevent erotic diseases, we must first comb the cat's hair frequently. It can be done once every 2 days. During the hair change season or long hair, it can be done once a day. It is better to comb the floating hair off your body to reduce the amount of hair that the cat licks into its stomach.
