Question
for the past month or so my cat will sometimes cry and dash around the house before he has a bowel movement. He had a check up about six months ago and other than this one thing he seems healthy. Any idea why he might do this? Thanks, Carol
Hi Carol,
Unless there is something physically wrong, and you stated you saw a vet recently, then I would just guess that maybe he has hard stools and it is painful. Why don't you ask your vet about a stool softener and see if that helps? Other than that, I really can't imagine what it would be.
God Bless,
Becky

Expertise
I am not a breeder,so please direct any breeding and/or birthing questions to an "expert" that is. I love all cats but my favorites are the Rex and Siamese. I used to show Cornish Rex as a hobby but have not been able to for a few years. Right now I have three Siamese and one Cornish Rex. As a former veterinarian assistant, I can help you with general healthcare issues. Being a cat owner for years, I will be glad to answer any behaviour and/or nutrition questions too. Please remember, I am NOT a Veterinarian, so if your kitty is seriously ill, please do not hesitate to contact a Vet.
