Cats, like humans, also have many physiological symptoms. Sometimes cats also encounter situations where they cannot poop. If your cat stays in the litter box for a long time, it may be constipated. Generally, we raise cats hoping they can accompany us, not just stay in their own world. So we need to help cats solve their illnesses. How do we solve cat constipation symptoms? Let's take a look together.

Cats, like humans, need to eliminate waste daily. For cats, they usually have bowel movements three to four times a day. If you find this is not the case, it might be constipation. We can also check the cat’s litter box to see the amount of feces in a day to determine if the cat is constipated. Usually, we need to first discover that the cat is constipated before effectively helping it by targeted treatment. Generally, constipation in cats is similar to humans and is a symptom related to bladder issues.

Constipation in cats is similar to that in humans and may indicate reduced excretory ability. We can give cats some laxative medications or foods tailored for this. Sometimes the cat's feces are small and hard, in which case we can only rely on laxative medicines and foods. If the cat has a poor appetite, it may be because there is little content in the bladder causing the constipation. In this case, don't worry too much because this is a normal situation. There is also a possibility that the cat’s abdomen is uncomfortable.

If the abdomen is uncomfortable, you can only take your cat to a specialized pet pharmacy or veterinarian. Ask the vet if the cat needs treatment. If the doctor says yes, I suggest you ask the vet to inject some medication to help your cat defecate. These injections soften the cat's stool to relieve constipation symptoms. Alternatively, you can add some pumpkin to the cat's food to help with bowel movements because pumpkin is also effective in relieving constipation.
