Most of us don't care that the technical name for a hair ball is trichobezoar when we're cleaning up that slimy, cold wad of goo from the many places our cats deposit them.
A study from the University of Wisconsin-Madison revealed that hair balls consist of indigestible protein made up of 15 to 30 percent fat. Digestive enzymes inadequately penetrate the coating on hairballs which prevents their passage out the hind end of the cat in favor of the front end precipitated by awful retching, gagging, hakHAK ackAAAAck sounds.
Most over-the-counter hair ball remedies grease the intestinal tract in an effort to get the hair ball to pass through and be deposited by the favored hind end.
Adding a small amount of fiber to your cat's diet, in addition to lecithin from egg yolks helps dissolve those nasty hunks of hair and helps to prevent their formation. Add a little pumpkin a few days a week and a raw egg yolk (no egg white) once a week to their food to help keep your carpets, shoes, and bedspreads clean and your cats from getting clogged
