* Pumpkin puree: Canned pure pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling) can be a natural remedy for constipation in cats. It's high in fiber and can help bulk up stool and make it easier to pass. Give your cat 1-2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree mixed in with their regular food.
* Hydration: Make sure your cat has plenty of fresh, clean water available. Hydration can help soften stools and make them easier to pass. Encourage your cat to drink water by adding a little bit of tuna juice, chicken broth, or water infused with catnip.
* Olive oil: A small amount of olive oil can help lubricate the digestive tract and make it easier for stool to pass. Mix 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil into your cat's regular food. Do not give your cat more than 1/2 teaspoon per day, as too much oil can cause diarrhea.
* Warm compress: Applying a warm compress to your cat's abdomen can help relax the muscles and relieve discomfort. Use a hot water bottle or heating pad covered with a towel. Place the compress on your cat's abdomen for 15-20 minutes at a time, several times a day.
