What a great question. Consider yourself lucky that you do not have to deal with the complicated and challenging issue of hairballs. Yes it can be normal that your cat does not have hairballs. What that means is that your diet you are giving and the cats lifestyle is conducive to a hairball free life. So keep it up. Have a great day.
