OT - I think my cat is constipated!
My kitty seems to be feeling much better the last couple of days. She is eating like a little pig and seems pretty energetic. But now I think she is constipated. Earlier today she had a little piece of poop stuck in her fur, which happens sometimes with cats that have long hair, but I hadn't seen her poop anywhere. It was like all she got out was that little tiny piece. Just now, she was sitting on the couch next to me, and all of a sudden she looked like she was pooping. Occasionally she poops outside of the litter box, but not usually on the couch, so I was not happy that it looked like she was pooping on my couch. Only after a couple minutes, she walked away, and I saw that she hadn't pooped. But it looked like she was trying to. Like she was trying to but couldn't.
What on earth does one do for a constipated cat? Good grief. She goes back to the vet tomorrow to get her blood sugar checked and stuff, so we'll ask the vet about it. I imagine he can palpate her belly and tell if she has a lot of stool in there. But gee whiz....

Oooh, I might have some hair ball remedy stuff somewhere that might help, though. I'll have to go look.

I also put oils or things I want cats to lick on their fur. If fastidious and a "licker" then the cat will lick it off regardless of taste (they do, after all, use their tongues on their bums!)
My little boy is back from the vet drunk as can be and wondering WHAT happend to his little boy parts.
