The growing knowledge of cat owners about nutrition, care and preventive healthcare has made their pets live longer and longer. Nowadays their average life expectancy is 15 years. These long years cats spend lazing around, taking care of its coat, exploring the surrounding, playing and having fun.

One of the cat’s main activities, apart from lying on a window sill and observing the neighborhood, is thorough hair care. This activity is repeated even several times a day. Their rough tongues make it easier to remove dirt from or dead hair from their coat. However, some hair is always swallowed by the cat during this care. Loose hair can accumulate in the gastrointestinal tract and form so-called hairballs. In order to facilitate the natural elimination of swallowed hair from the gastrointestinal tract, it is necessary to take care of a proper intestinal passage.
