Step1
Give the cat a laxative. Dosage can depend on the size of the cat. Consult a veterinarian for the recommended dosage for your cat.
Step2
Mix some canned pumpkin in with the cat's regular food. This can relieve feline constipation in as little as 24 hours.
Step3
Keep the cat hydrated. Dehydration is a leading cause of feline constipation. Cats require a lot of water. Make sure the cat has plenty of water throughout the day.
Step4
Switch to wet cat food if you are feeding the cat only dry food. Wet food contains a good amount of water which can help the cat overcome constipation.
Step5
Use a natural herbal remedy such as Natural Moves for Pets. These pills not only relieve constipation but also promote digestive health.
Step6
Increase fiber in the cat's diet. Add bran or Metamucil to the cat's food. Consult a veterinarian about the recommended amount for your cat.
