I have two Birman cats. They are 13 and 12 years old.

They have often only ever thrown up hairballs. It rarely comes out with the feces.

For food they get raw meat with vitamin powder added.


They also wash each other so much hair comes down. I brush their fur about twice a week.


Besides that they can eat grass, what else can I do?
