Today is National Hairball Awareness Day.
Bill the Cat does it proud today:
Wonderful. Give my cat more excuses to yack up a hairball at 3 am…
Since when does a cat need an excuse? 
That’s why you all should have rabbits for pets–buns groom like cats but can’t pass hairballs, so you have to give them pineapple which has an enzyme that dissolves the hair in their guts or else you have to give them an intestinal lubricant which is just too horrible to contemplate…(can’t breath)…
I have birds, fish, and dogs. No hairballs here. However, in honor of the holiday, I will pretend the dustbunnies under the bed are hairballs and will continue to ignore them.
