It is best to have a constipated cat examined by your vet. Many cat owners think the cat is constipated but it is actually a urinary blockage which can be fatal. Urinary blockage is very common in male cats; constipation is not that common. Please take Mack to the vet ASAP. ( https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951735 )
