There is a difference between vomiting a hairball and a hairball vomiter. LOL No wonder you are confused. A hairball vomiter is a cat that vomits undigested food BECAUSE the hairballs are blocking the digestive tract in some place. They are not throwing up the hairballs. In fact, that is the problem. If they would throw up the hairballs, things would get a whole lot better. Now, if the food is digested, there is something else going on.

Magellan hates laxatone too. Try a better food like Solid Gold or Eagle Pack. Now Newman's Own did ended up not working because I put Magellan on that for a short period of time and he began hairball vomiting last night and this morning finally threw up a tiny (the smallest one I have ever seen) hairball. I did not have success with Wellness, Innova, Chicken Soup when it came to hairball vomiting. Those are all good foods but they just don't work for Magellan.

I would tend to agree that it is hairballs, but, this in not the kind of vomit you get with hairballs and Tigger has never been prone to hairballss....but what it seems like is that I am blowing the vomiting out of proportion, because noone seems to think I should get the vet involved.

Since Amber was diagnosed with FeLV I have been watching closer than normal.

Thank you all for the advice.

Sounds like a hairball vomiter. I have one. He vomits after eating. He
also tends to eat too fast and I have to separate him from the other cats so
he will slow down.


However, 99% of the problem was resolved when I changed to Eagle Pack food.
The problem was worse on wellness and Innova. He has not thrown up once on
Eagle. I don't miss the cleanups. I do know that Eagle Pack does not work
with every cat but the company tested their formulas on cats with hairball
vomiting problems with success. I don't even use their hairball formula.
I use the Holistic Select and it works just fine. I have not had one
hairball from any cat (9 total cats) since I started the food.
