It is always best to be prepared (especially for problems that are common like constipation). Nobody wants an uncomfortable kitty.

I've found some wet food that she will eat, but I also let them eat wet food and keep plenty of water out.Sweet Purrfectionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06186515275952115797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5062966441153122889.post-52489651173315895452015-11-22T12:58:45.424-05:002015-11-22T12:58:45.424-05:00Great post!

Thankfully we haven't run into this issue, though I admit it is difficult to keep an eye on my cat's stools -- with five cats in the house, I can't keep up with whose poop is whose! But I haven't noticed anything unusual, so I think everyone is fine. I've heard good things about pumpkin though. Thanks for the great tips!Kitty Cat Chronicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16978126320438142371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5062966441153122889.post-28479655370375418952015-11-20T10:37:37.663-05:002015-11-20T10:37:37.663-05:00We never have this problem in our house since we a...We never have this problem in our house since we all eat homemade raw food but we used to have the opposite problem! It can take a long time for some cats to transition to wet when they are kibble fanatics. The pet food manufacturers make it so! It took Echo weeks to begin eating raw from canned even. Patience is the key to any change for us kitties.Christy Pawshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07653801636346501219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5062966441153122889.post-2279617467545722862015-11-19T20:59:04.773-05:002015-11-19T20:59:04.773-05:00HAH!

Whenever Cody is on Prednisonol for his allergies, he has to have pure pumpkin as well. After spending $500 to have his anal glands expressed once, I will occasionally add pumpkin to his diet regardless. Also, changing flavors of his food helps to unblock him too!<br /><a href="http://www.catchatwithcarenandcody.com" title="catchatwithcarenandcody" rel="nofollow">catchatwithcarenandcody</a>Cat and DOG Chat With Carenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02666719374831725417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5062966441153122889.post-8821555370043561462015-11-16T20:13:29.439-05:002015-11-16T20:13:29.439-05:00Mom's kitty gets constipated, but we have trou...Mom's kitty gets constipated, but we have trouble getting her to eat any moist food... we haven't tried miralax though.Katiez Furry Mewzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819595350316210130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5062966441153122889.post-26446926036242586572015-11-16T19:48:54.416-05:002015-11-16T19:48:54.416-05:00Zoey suffers from megacolon.

Interestingly, the prescription food that she eats (high fiber) is a dry food and they don't make it in a canned version.

Sometimes Fiona just buries hers. We all love the fountain, however. What type did you try? Was it noisy? We have a stainless steel Drinkwell 360. It is quiet. Mom also has bowls of water in several places in the house. We are happy you found something that is working for Lola. This was an excellent post with lots of great and useful information. Mom says, "thanks."
