The master jumped on the sheets you just changed, retched twice, and coughed up a ball of wet and sticky hair...... This kind of scene shovel officials have experienced it.
Seeing this scene
The experienced shit shovel officer has jumped up to tear the paper
But if you change your room to the African savannah, and the kitten to the Great Western Guinea, will such a scene often happen? In other words, do big cats spit out hair balls?
Are they also troubled by the hair ball problem?
What is the big cat hairball?
Daxi Ji did not speak, and vomited two mouthfuls of hair balls at you.
You Mao Jun answered one by one
Big cats will also have hair balls!
First of all, there will be hair balls in the belly of the big cat! Because they are like kittens, they can lick their fur. In fact, almost all cats like to lick their fur. Then eat it accidentally.
Animal behavior scientist Letitia Fanucchi of Washington State University said when discussing this issue with National Geographic: For cats, licking the coat is not only a soothing effect, but also keeps the hair soft.
domestic cats are the same as
big cats. Duck

is familiar to all of us. These hairs were hooked by the barbed tongue and swallowed directly into the stomach, forming a hairball that could not digest.

. So, it won't be long before we will find that domestic cats vomit or defecate to expel fur balls. (Yes, we will also find hair in the cat's poop) The standard action of
spitting out hair balls is like this
Congratulations on your successful destruction of the floor you just wiped...
Nitrogen will be the same for big cats?
Recall that when You Mao was watching a documentary about big cats, he seemed to have never seen a picture of Daxiji or his brain spewing hairballs, right?
Yes, is not just you!
listen carefully, your big hairball
University of Minnesota Lion Research Center researcher Natalia Borrego said: No matter whether it is a wild lion or a captive lion, there is no scene of spitting hairball.
The only reasonable explanation for this phenomenon is that
big cats will not spit out hair balls!
hugs my big Western Ji
spitting hair ball, which is probably not a normal phenomenon for cats. The hair ball problem of big cats is usually solved by pulling papa!
also eats hair balls
Why doesn't Daxiji vomit hair balls?
Is it because their intestines are thick enough? More powerful digestion? Is it different for being big? The
researchers also had such doubts in the early stage. They also found that in captive cats, large cats do not spit out hair balls, while small cats occasionally spit out hair balls.
But the final result also surprised them!
turned out to be a different food!
Associate Professor Matthew Johnston of Colorado State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital found: Among the captive animals, small wild cats, such as servals or jaguars, usually feed similar foods to domestic cats (eating feed). Big cats such as lions, jaguars, and leopards eat meat.
are all big cats, why the food is different!
In fact, as early as 2013, a pet medicine journal published a similar article stating that only 10-20% of owners had seen their cats throw up hair balls. Healthy cats are capable of expelling hair bulbs through the intestine, notVomiting.
Could it be said that the existence of "Domestic cats spit out hair balls" and the existence of spit out hair balls is another business behavior that justifies? or our complete misunderstanding of domestic cats? (Tendency to digress) The last thing
needs to mention is that although the big cat
does not spit out hair balls
, it will be troubled by the hairball problem.
In 2015, a veterinarian in Colorado, , performed an operation to remove a hair ball weighing about 1.8 kilograms from the belly of the African lion Arthur. At the time of , Arthur's appetite decreased and his weight became lighter.
In addition, Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center in Clearwater, Florida also had the same situation with a tiger. In the end, the veterinarian also found that there were about 1.8 kilograms of hair balls in its stomach.
In short,
is full of mysteries, whether it is a kitten or a big West, and a brain rotten
and the question about whether a big cat will spit out hair balls
The correct answer is
Generally not!
Are you right?
