What are Common Causes of Constipation in Cats?
One of the most common reasons for constipation in cats is hair ingestion. Your pet may have swallowed a large amount of fur while cleaning themselves and the fur can accumulate in its bowels until it blocks bowel movements. Sometimes, a hairball can become so impacted surgery is required to remove it. A good way to prevent hair ingestion is to brush your cat daily or as often as possible. Keeping your cat’s fur free of tangles and debris will help prevent constipation and besides, they will love it!
