"Many people assume that vomiting up hairballs is a normal thing for cats simply because they groom themselves and ingest a lot of fur in the process — but vomiting up hairballs is not normal."

"In my experience, a nutritionally balanced, species-appropriate fresh food diet can actually prevent many cases of lower urinary tract disease in kitties because it eliminates dietary and metabolic stress. Choosing foods free from synthetic nutrients, colors and rendered additives, GMOs, as well as minimally processed foods (to avoid feeding AGEs and acrylamides found in all extruded kibble) can also help reduce digestive, and in turn, immunologic stress." - Dr. Karen Becker

With feline idiopathic cystitis or inflammation of the bladder, there's no bacterial infection present, so prescribing antibiotics can be a big mistake.

" Help for cats with hairballs includes a moisture-rich species-appropriate diet, digestive enzymes and omega-3 supplements, and added fiber such as psyllium seed husk power or 100 percent canned pumpkin.
You can also consider a petroleum-free hairball remedy or a dab of coconut oil on kitty’s paw; also be sure to brush or comb your cat to help remove hair and debris."

If your pet is producing hairballs regularly, consider them a red flag; disease aside, these are the two most common reasons, and neither should be happening.
