Cats spend many hours licking their coats. Their tongue supposedly has backwards-facing spines about 50 micrometres long, that is called papillae.

These spines allow cats to too groom themselves by licking their fur. With their rows of papillae acting like it was a hairbrush.

Some cats end up having hairballs of fur that is collected in their stomachs from their grooming. These clumps of fur are mostly sausage shaped and about, like, 2-3 centimetres long.
