   my cats are the same. Yes it is not good if they eat them but don’t worry if they do eat a little it happens.

   shouldn’t be a problem but now and then as with any cat you want to put some salve on the end of his nose (flavored lipbalm works). They lick this off and it collects the hair and whatever, in this case feathers and carries them out so that they don’t build up. In nature wild cats get this through eating raw fat from kills. domestic cats don’t
