Step 1
Purchase wet cat food in flavors that your cat enjoys. Check labels for high-fiber content, as fiber can encourage your cat to naturally pass the hairball.
-
Step 2
Measure out 1 tsp. of olive oil and add it to your cat's food. Mix it so that the food and the olive oil are thoroughly incorporated into the cat food's juices.
-
Step 3
Feed your cat the mixture of cat food and olive oil.
-
Step 4
Continue dosing your cat's food with olive oil for 3 days.
-
Step 5
Check your cat's stool for signs of the passed hairball. Ingested olive oil acts as a lubricant and laxative and your cat should expel the hairball after 2 or 3 days of eating the cat food and olive oil mixture.
-
Step 6
Incorporate small amounts of olive oil into your cat's daily diet. Adding between 1/8 and 1/4 tsp. of olive oil to your cat's meals prevents hairball accumulation in your cat's digestive system.
