If I Had a Hairball

If I had a hairball It would be no wonder Since I lick and lick and lick all day All day long, I’m lickin’ on my paws I am in a hairy way! If I had a hairball I would gag and cough And gag and cough and gag and cough some more You all know the lovely sounds I make Leaving you a present on the floor!

Well, I have heard about cats that do that but have never experienced it. I don't think it would be very pleasant. I think there is something that one can purchase to help keep that from happening to the cat. Enjoyed reading your work. Sara

....As spoken by an attentive and concerned cat! You have captured well the occasional rather distressing (to us humans) expelling of our feline favorites' occasional ingested loose fur accumulations, as well as the somewhat upsetting noises that accompany the process. Good job.
