My cat is constipated but acting fine. What can I give him?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 7 months and 4 days old

My cat has not pooped in 2-3 days. He is acting fine though. We brought the litter box up into our living room to make sure he’s not straining when he goes to the bathroom but he appears to be fine. Any recommendations?

Yes, you can give him Miralax flavorless powder - 1/8 teaspoon mixed in a tiny bit of canned cat food once or twice a day. https://www.walmart.com/ip/MiraLAX-Laxative-Powder-for-Gentle-Constipation-Relief-7-Doses/10419774 If no improvement after a couple days then he should see a vet.
