6. My cat was vomiting a lot

She went to the vet. The vet felt her tummy and said it was "mushy". They did an x-ray and it turned out she had a massive hairball! She was vomiting because no food could get past the hairball. The vet gave her an enema, which she did NOT appreciate. She passed the hairball and was fine after a couple of days but gave me the stink eye for a while. The vet said do not feed them hairball formula pet food though. She said it has too much fiber.
