Sorry to be so blunt in the title. I think my female cat might be constipated. (She will be one in Sept.) I am trying to incorporate wet food into her dry only diet and she will not even try the food. I thought the wet food might help her. She is also a long haired cat and I am not sure if this is contributing to her being "bound up"

Any suggestions?

Thank you for your help.

My female cat has been having the same issues. See if you can get her to eat canned pumpkin, or maybe get some of the hairball treats (will help if there's a hairball, plus have a lot of fiber). I sometimes use Laxatone, which you can get at Petco. It's a hairball remedy too but also will help as a laxative.

If she is really constipated she may need a trip to the vet. My Jordan has chronic constipation problems, so he has had to have an enema and gets Enulose when he's having a real problem.
