	Hair balls - Cats Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		A hairball is a collection of hair or fur formed in the stomach of animals that is occasionally vomited up when it becomes too big.
		In 2003, a 3-year old girl in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada had a grapefruit-sized hairball surgically removed from her stomach and in 2004, a 18-year old woman from McAdam, New Brunswick, Canada had a 5-lb hairball surgically removed from her lower intestine.
		Hairballs can be quite hazardous in humans, since hair cannot be digested or passed by the human gastrointestinal system, and (assuming it is identified) even vomiting may be ineffective at removing the hair mass.

		This important, as all the hairs you remove, are hairs he will not swallow.
		These measures are useful if your cat is moulding, or if you have the feeling that he can’t swallow a hair ball (he tries to vomit, no but hair comes out).
		To limit the formation of hair balls, and help their digestion,, you can feed your cat specially designed food (ask your veterinarian for advice) or feed him fish cooked in oil.

		Hairballs are a common problem in cats that groom themselves frequently, as well as in those that have long hair.
		Eventually, the hair causes enough irritation to the stomach that the cat will vomit it up.
		Owners may opt to use hairball remedies such as Laxatone, which contain ingredients such as petroleum jelly that help bind the hair in the stomach and move it into the intestines and passed in the feces.
