Question

My cat ate a bunch of hair ...


Sent to Cat Experts August 23, 2006 12:37 a.m.

My cat ate a bunch of hair, should I be worried? He has been hacking and coughing up food a lot now. Is there anything I can do?

Hi,

Did your cat ingest a lot of his OWN fur while grooming, or are you talking about him eating human hair?

Unfortunately, my cats were groomed and I have 3. I did the grooming myself. Also I had been cutting my own hair too. So the cat ate a combination of cat and human hair.
