Probably not, although it may help make your cat hate you and gag a lot. The hairball is lodged in the cat's stomach, so he is basically trying to throw up a wad of hair. Vaseline, or any petroleum jelly product, in the cat's mouth will just be a distraction that your cat will not thank you for.

Hairballs are not uncommon in animals, especially cats, due to their grooming habits. When animals groom themselves, they ingest loose fur which can accumulate in their stomach, forming a hairball.

It's important to provide your pet with regular grooming and a balanced diet to help prevent hairball formation.

Do cats always get hairballs?
No. In fact, I have had cats all my life -- for 26 years -- yet I've never actually seen a cat cough up a hairball. I don't even know what a hairball is supposed to look like (besides the obvious). High-quality cat foods (especially the kind that are labeled "for hairball management" and such) are supposed to help prevent hairballs. Some high-quality cat food brands include: Innova/Evo, Weruva, Max Cat, PetGuard, California Natural, Instinct, Prairie, Natural Balance, Solid Gold, Merrick, Wellness, Eagle Pack, Newman's Own, WYSONG, Precise. I know that Max Cat makes an anti-hairball food, and some of these other brands probably do too. Regularly brushing the cat's coat also helps. As far as I know, none of the cats my family and I have ever had got hairballs. But we have had cats with coughing problems. Our cat Ginger (deceased) and one of the cats I have now both had this problem. A couple times a week or so, they'd get this hacking cough, which would last about 5 to 10 minutes. But they never coughed up a hairball. Whenever the cough got really bad, the vet would put them on steroid medication, but that stuff can cause other medical problems, so we try not to use it too much. So, if your cat constantly has this hacking cough, but no hairballs are ever produced, it would be a good idea to take the cat into the vet.

What causes a cat to regurgitate?
Most commonly, a hairball. Cats lick themselves and often their companions clean and this is the main cause of hairballs. -If only we could train them to do it in the toilet or litter box.
