How long can cats eat hair removal gel?

Cats usually start eating hair removal gel around the age of 6 months. Cats are very clean animals who like to lick themselves to cleanse, but their stomachs usually cannot digest the hair they ingest. Excess hair buildup can lead to hairballs, which can cause constipation, difficulty defecating, and vomiting.除了一般的化毛膏，还可以通过喂食猫草和经常梳理毛发来 control hairball formation.

Firstly, during seasonal changes, cats are prone to severe shedding, which means they will ingest more hair when cleaning themselves. If they don't eat hair removal gel, they may develop hairballs, leading to vomiting, dry heaving, and difficulty defecating. Cats can start eating hair removal gel around the age of 6 months. Preventive feeding can be done 1-2 times a week, and 3-5 times during shedding seasons.

Secondly, aside from hair removal gel, owners can also grow catnip at home for their cats to eat. Cats can vomit up hairballs by eating catnip. Feeding catnip also helps cats replenish moisture and vitamins, promote gastrointestinal movement, and enhance their digestion, helping them expel hairballs. During shedding seasons, cats can be fed once every two days, and preventively, once a week.

Lastly, aside from feeding hair removal gel or catnip, owners can also brush their cats' hair frequently to prevent them from ingesting hair during shedding seasons. They can also feed hairball-control cat food, or give fish oil and lecithin to strengthen their hair and reduce shedding.
