Surgery seems so radical - did she consider just changing from her regular dinner of Fancy Feast to Iams hairball formula?

The woman underwent surgery to remove the mass of black, curly hair, which weighed 10 pounds and measured 15 inches by 7 inches by 7 inches, the doctors said.

Kinda makes you wonder what she was eating.

Uh...

"On questioning, the patient stated that she had had a habit of eating her hair for many years -- a condition called trichophagia," they wrote.

Yeah, I still have to ask why the heck you'd think eating your own hair would be a good idea. I hate it whenever I get hair in my mouth.

Can't see this being all that tough to figure out...

"So, miss, you say you have a stomach ache?"

"Yes" *nibble**nibble*

"Let's just take a look here, hmm, xray shows something odd, let's just put this scope down into your stomach, say ahh"

"ahh"

"ok, here we go, there's your tongue, there's that thingy at the back of your mouth, going down your throat (Ed: stop snickering at this part, yes, I said throat), and here comes the stomach ... OMG!" *BARF*

Ugh, me too. I have to stop what I'm doing and immediately be rid of the hair.
