Answer

You might try a hairball medication such as Laxatone or Petromalt to help the hairball break up and pass through.
You could also use some fiber in the diet to help the hairball pass. The hairball type canned food is high in fiber or you can mix a spoon or two of oatmeal, or plain canned pumpkin, or bran flakes in with the cats canned food to add some fiber into the diet. The fiber bulks up stool and helps the hairballs pass through the system.
Hope this helps you!
