What to Do When Your Cat Vomits at Night

Does My Cat Need Hairball Paste?
Whether a cat needs hairball paste depends on coat type and hairball risk. Long-haired cats and those prone to hairballs usually benefit; in moderation it helps prevent hairballs and aids digestion.

What Happens If a Cat Eats Raw Egg?
An occasional raw egg usually causes no big problem, but a cat's gut can't digest it well and it may bring bacteria or parasites, so avoid raw egg.

Yolk benefits coat, vision, immunity, and blood, but limit to 2-3 a week; obese, kidney-diseased, or allergic cats should avoid eggs entirely.
