Instructions
Brush your cat to remove excess hair. Depending on the length of your cat's hair, you may have to do this daily. After brushing, wipe your cat down with a clean cloth to remove any other hairs that may have come loose during brushing.
Buy cat food that's specifically formulated to reduce hair balls. Certain brands offer nutrients to help your cat grow healthier fur, therefore making it less likely to shed.
Find products that help the passage of hair through your cat's gut. You can find them at your local pet stores, or you can ask your veterinarian, who may also be able to suggest other products specific to your pet's needs.
Observe your cat; if it cleans itself obsessively, replace that habit with a distraction, like a new cat toy or active playtime with you. If your cat's attention is not monopolized by personal grooming, its hair balls will be reduced.
