Vomited Grass and Cat Hairball (picture)
Here is a picture of vomited grass and a classic looking feline hairball nearby, which proves that eating grass makes a cat sick up the hairball, which in turn indicates that cats eat grass to get rid of hairballs.

Well Rebel,usually does really good ones with dry Cat Biscuits in the hallway. So half way though the nite, while in bare feet or in Socks i end up walking in it half way though the nite.
You’ll have to get a photo some time! I don’t know of any other animal that produces hairballs and who is so good at vomiting.
Hi there Michael Yes I will try too sometime.
He did an impressive one in the wee small hours but I was too tired to trail downstairs for the camera, and anyway they both would have followed me down thinking it was morning. Must bring the camera upstairs overnight after this, it’s his favourite time for doing them.
Interesting Topic…Mine do this too. Abit yucky
I’ll be in your comp, just hang on until I can make one of my ‘specials’ and get one of the mammies to take its picture 😉
The more disgusting the better 😉
Well, you asked for it Sir and you got it 😉
I bet, but hairballs are interesting because there are so many shapes, sizes and even colours and the s-m-e-l-l is unique isn’t it?
Competition time 😉
Yeah, let’s have a contest!!!
The Most Disgusting Bezoar. Prize: a small jar of cod liver oil 😉
Best of all are the ones with bits of mice in 🙂
Oh Babz!
I could have gone all year without envisioning that!
I produced a spectacular hairball in the night, on the bed I share with Ruth, it was garnished with the cooked chicken I had for my supper and had a side salad of grass.
Beat that!
Jozef, that is just spectacular and needs to be framed!
I must say I’ve never seen one so big and yucky, I wish I could make one but it’s not the sort of thing I do at all.
That is disgusting. God. You seem to be handling it with some pride and happiness 😉 Lovely super sharp photo just to make it more real (as if we need it)!
It is the prize winner. Best hairball of the month.
Yes it was a real beauty and smelled very ripe too, far better up than down there in his insides lol 😉
LOL. I can visualise that and it has put me off my dinner.
OMG it smelled terrible and then…..she went and picked it up – arghhhhhh
lol but it had to be seen to be believed!
Hairballs are fascinating. Our Jozef brings up some spectacular ones on my bedside rug, usually in the wee small hours. I drag myself out of bed to pick it up or you can be sure it will end up stuck to the bottom of my foot next morning lol
Better picked up steaming hot than stuck on the foot icy cold 😉
Ha, ha, ha, ha!
Isn’t that special.
You made my morning. Of course, we can never see enough of those.
But, seriously, yes, I think many cats eat grass to stimulate regurgitation.
Do you think it is a pretty hairball picture? 😉
Good, but not the best I’ve ever seen.
The puked up grass is impressive though.
I think my neighbour thought is was poo! So I removed it pronto.
