I wonder if you have found a problem when raising cats, that is, cats like to lick their own fur. Although this scene seems to be fine, it is actually very serious! By the way, do you know what happens if cats lick too much hair? Let’s learn about it together.

The main purpose of cats licking their hair is to clean their bodies, but the dust or fallen hair on the body is swallowed directly into the stomach by the cat. They will be excreted from the body through the cat's digestive tract, but some hair will not be avoided that it still remains in the cat's stomach.

The main component of cats' hair is cysteine, which is difficult to digest or dissolve. When the hair in the cat's body accumulates to a certain extent, it will cause erectile dysfunction.

When the hair in the cat's body gathers together, it will absorb water and form a ball. Over time, it will block the cat's digestive tract. Cats will often have symptoms of vomiting, and most of the vomit is a ball of hair or it will directly retching and nothing will be vomited.

Cats also have hair in excrement. If cats suffer from erectile dysfunction, they will have symptoms of constipation and are accompanied by loss of appetite and poor spirits.

When the situation is serious, it may even lead to cat dehydration, organ failure, etc., so I hope the owners will pay attention to the matter of erectile dysfunction.
