Yes, they do.. if you notice them crouch down and start coughing and heaving frequently, especially in long-haired cats or cats that shed a lot, you can get a tube of medicine at a pet store or grocery store. It's not too expensive and it comes in a tube like toothpaste. ;)

The longer the fur, the bigger issue. Obviously hairless cats would be problem free.

Cats lick themselves to get clean. When they do this, they lick up their fur as well. Sometimes they even swallow it. Later they spit them back out since they can't digest them.

When a cat licks itself, it swallows a little bit of hair. Then it throws the hair up.

Is long hair stronger than short hair?

It really depends on how healthy the hair is because just pretend you have one short haired dog and one long haired dog and i have one short haired dog and one long haired dog. You take GREAT care of the long haired dogs fur and not as good care of the short haired dogs fur and i am just the opposite. My short haired dogs fur will be stronger than my long haired dogs fur and your long haired dogs fur will be stronger than your short haired dog. So it just depends on how you care for the hair.
