My cat's stomach gurgles and she poops small balls. Is she okay?

Question

My cats stomach is always gurgling. Sometimes I put my head on her stomach and it always makes bubbling/gurgling noises. She poops little balls all the time. I'm just wondering whats wrong with her why is her stomach always making noises? She eats Purina kibble. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | unspayed | 1 year old | 8 lbs

An increase in the volume of belly noise may or may not be a problem. If Cleo seems to have relatively regular bowel movements, doesn't seem to strain to defecate, and doesn't have any vomiting episodes, I would not necessarily assume there is an issue to be treating. The passage of small balls of fecal material is not abnormal unless you feel Cleo is constipated or backing up. Some problems that CAN be associated with increased belly noise would be allergies to certain foods, gastrointestinal inflammation / pancreatitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and some much less common conditions. The simplest test you can do would be a gradual change to a new diet to see if it makes any difference. Hope this helps.
