because they must lick their coats clean and when the hair they have licked off goes into their intestine or stomach they must get the small mass of hair out.
Unlike dogs, cats groom themselves by constantly licking themselves, top to bottom. That is why you rarely have to give them baths. They have tongues that are like sandpaper, and when they lick their fur, it pulls the hair and everything on it into their mouths and stomachs. Because they do this, they have a lot of undigested hair in their insides, which eventually has to come out
Cats need to cough up hair balls, as they are self grooming, which means that all of their fur gets swallowed, it is not good for them, and they need to get rid of it, with grass mainly and to cough it up.

∙ 16y agoCats will generally eat grass (in some cases plants) for their digestion. It's also a way for the cat to get rid of fur balls. The vomit should be a yellow to yellowish green and if it's just plain green with no grass or pieces of plant present then I suggest you take your cat into the vets to be sure they are not fighting off an infection.
