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.

  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.

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.

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?

    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!

        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.

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.

    Good, but not the best I’ve ever seen.
    The puked up grass is impressive though.
