Grooming and hairball observations
Frequent retching should not automatically be called a hairball.
Regular brushing removes loose hair; long-haired cats and cats shedding heavily may need extra attention. Keep drinking water available and support suitable daily activity.
Record retching, vomiting, appetite, and stool changes. Ask your veterinarian before introducing a hairball product. Repeated episodes may have another cause and deserve an examination instead of repeated home remedies.

Repeated retching, vomiting, refusal to eat, or difficulty passing stool needs prompt advice.
