My poor Cat is Stuffed up! Her diet hasn't changed since she was a little kitten well aside from the fact that she's not on kitten food. but that's been for over 4 months since I changed her over. But I was cleaning out her litter box yesterday and noticed that it's not her normal BM's. Do any of you have any tips to help us out? I would be very greatful for anything you guys can tell me!!

Thanks!

What do you mean by "not her normal BM's"? How did they change? When they are constipated, you usually notice very hard stool with some possible blood in it.

What I mean is that they are pretty hard and a little like Rabbit dropings. She's normally has MONSTER BM's as in hugh and soft.

It might help if you give her a little canned pumkin. You can also start adding some fish oil her her diet. It's still possible that the food switch may have caused it. Did you switch the brand at all? If so, you might want to get back to the same brand. You can also try another brand of adult food if it's the same brand you started with.

Didn't change brand it's still purina just for cats instead of kitten. But will try a switch and see if my picky eater will go for it lol. I gave her a can of wet food the other day and that seemed to help her out a little........but will try the switch and if that doesn't work I know I have some canned pumpkin
thanks for the info
