Re: toileting


Make sure that he is getting enough water, try adding a little to his food to encourage him to drink more. Hopefully he will have 'been' by now....

Re: toileting


Poor Jerry, My old boy used to get constipated sometimes. Make sure he gets plenty of fluids like Fran says. Sometimes a little melted butter does the trick too.
How old is he?

Re: toileting


.... water water and more water. Maybe even bottled water if he dislikes tap - as most cats do.
You could put a little drop (less than quarter teaspoon) of light vegetable oil (sunflower etc) in his food.

Re: toileting


Try the occasional maybe every week/10 days meal of sardines in oil or tomato sauce. Works wonders
