Not the biggest I've seen by a long way (Magpie once coughed up a whopper) but Mosi coughed up a furball about 3 inches long yesterday. About half an inch diameter. No wonder he wasn't a happy bunny with that inside him. He's bouncing around full of beans now that he's got rid of it. Tbh, Mosi doesn't bring many up. He usually just coughs and I give him extra furball treats. I think they must just pass out the other end. I knew he had a big one this time as he had the runs a bit and that is unlike Mosi. I'm glad he's got it up now but it was the biggest one I've seen him bring up.

Since I have Ai chan I haven't seen any furballs or hear the coffing up of them.

You are lucky. Mosi leaves his just where he thinks I will step in it and it was a close thing last night :sick:

They're rare in this house too but Chilli did manage to throw up a bit of grass into her nostril earlier :evillaugh: I shouldn't laugh but she was suddenly sneezing furiously as it was stuck and I had to try and hold her head still and pull the blade out. She was very miffed after that, so undignified for such a lady :evillaugh:

Wow that sounds like a big fur ball
My cats like to leave there fur balls where you will stand on them.
I remember the first time i ever seen one i thought it was poo then realised it was a fur ball.

Mosi is definitely better now that he's got that up. Usually I know he's got a furball as he does his special furball cough ;D but this time he seemed a bit out of sorts (he's had a sore eye too) and had slightly runny poos which is very rare for Mosi. he just seemed uncomfortable but after bringing this one up he seemed much happier. He left it in the hall in prime position for the unwary :shify:

Beavis is the furball king in our house - he likes to aim for one of the two carpets in the house , and if that isn't possible any soft furnishing! :sick:
He isn't keen on furball treats , so we dab the paste in his nose , he can't help but lick it off! :evillaugh:

:sick: Jasper leaves his furballs either on my bed......ugh! or in the middle of the shaggy rug. However, I can remember once I found one under the dining table just as I was about to seat some posh guests, Luckily it had dried up and a bit of kitchen roll came to my rescue. He won't eat any treats so I can't give him the furball ones. Just have to be vigilant!
