Did you know that most cats spend 30%-50% of their waking hours grooming themselves?
It’s completely natural.
Cats lick their paws, clean their coats, and remove loose fur multiple times throughout the day.
But there’s something many owners don’t think about.
Every time your cat grooms, they swallow loose hair.
And unlike food, fur cannot be digested by the stomach.
At first, this might not seem like a big deal.
But over time, swallowed fur can build up in your cat’s digestive system and lead to uncomfortable hairballs. Other symptoms include:
- Frequent gagging or coughing
- Constipation
- Reduced appetite
And the truth is — many cat owners don’t realize this hidden issue until their cat begins showing clear signs of discomfort.
