| dogbert | 08-01-2008 08:39 AM | Yorkie Hairball ??? I have had a big med to long hair black and white cat for a little over two years. Her coat is beautiful and thick, which means she leaves alot of hair in the house. I brush her regularly (she appreciates the help I think) and tons of hair comes out. I always brush her outside on a breezy day so her hair flies away. Even the clumps from the brush which I have to clean three to four times will blow a ways away. We noticed other animals carrying it away to line their nests (we guess). Gotta keep warm in Minnesota winters ya know. ;) Our last dog didn't pay any attention to the hair on the ground. I noticed our new Yorkie (she's 4 yrs old) eating it the other day. Why? Is this normal? I now have to make sure it lands on the other side of the fence so other animals can get it and she can't eat it. I am baffled by this as she has been afraid of the cat since the day we brought her home a month ago. She won't go near the cat, her cat box, food etc but she will eat her hair......:confused: |
