Cat hairballs are those charming little fur sausages that form in a kitty's tummy after they swallow too much fluff while primping. These fur-filled tubes sometimes make a surprise appearance on your floor. Long-haired cats are more more prone to hairballs as they shed more hair that can be ingested, while older cats might struggle with hairball woes due to their grooming skills going a bit rusty. To keep the hairball drama to a minimum, give your feline a good brushing often, consider a hairball-fighting diet, and keep them well hydrated. You might also try a hairball lubricant gel, the kitty's secret weapon for a smooth digestive journey!

Fun Facts about Hamsters 🐹

• These furry night owls snooze by day and throw parties by night.
• Hamsters are little brainiacs. With some positive vibes and repetition, they can learn their names, run through mazes, and maybe even master the art of high-fives.
• While hamsters are not blind they might not win any eagle-eyed awards, but their side-eye game is strong, giving them a panoramic view of the world—perfect for their nocturnal adventures.
• Some hamster might like to be held while other don't. It's a toss-up! Some hamsters love a cuddle, while others prefer their personal bubble. Handle with care and they'll let you know their preference in no time.
• The word "hamster" originates from the German word "hamstern," meaning "to hoard." Our little furballs are the original packrats!
