Hi there! Cat constipation is not uncommon. You may try making sure she has enough water in her diet. Cats enjoy running water instead of water from a dish or bowl, so I would have a pet water fountain for her to be sure she is drinking adequately. I would also add more fiber to her diet such as plain canned pumpkin (not the pie filling) to her food at each meal. I hope this helps make things run a bit smoother! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
