Our long-haired cat coughs up a hairball every week or two. Normal or not?

An occasional hairball is common, especially in long-haired cats. Brushing most days takes a lot of hair out before she swallows it. Call your vet if she retches or hacks repeatedly without bringing anything up, stops eating, seems constipated, or the hairballs become frequent — those can point to a blockage or another problem.
