Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. It sounds as though Lil Man may be struggling to defecate and this may be causing him discomfort. I would recommend adding in Feline Laxatone and see if this helps normalize his bowel movements. With his age, if he hasn't had a veterinarian examine him in a while or have his blood tested, I would strongly recommend that you have this done in case there is something else going on systemically that is causing these symptoms. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
