    Sadly, Manx are prone to such issues. Try adding some canned pumpkin in with her food.

    If you can get her alone, you can offer her a bit of canned food with psyllium (unflavored Metamucil) fiber supplement and a bit of extra water mixed in. It's been shown to be safe for cats, and Smudge is a lot more comfy for it! But then, he dislikes pumpkin, and quite a few cats seem to enjoy it (some even like it straight up).

    Thank you for your suggestions. I had thought of giving her some butter or mixing some cooking oil with the wet food. Pumpkin makes sense for it's fiber. I'll give it a try. Again, thank you!

    Also, two of the vets at the clinic I go to tell me that cats must have some wet food every day. I give mine 1/8 of a small can each, mixed with a bit of warm water and Omega 3-6 oil.

    The point is, oil aside, is to get some moisture into her diet.

    I hope she responds soon and feels better!

    I use the pouches of wet food (slices in gravy) - Pinot gets only dry Science Diet in the A.M. and about a third of a pouch of the wet food mixed in the dry food P.M. meal.

    I would get Ms Stubby into your Vets ASAP , as that could be the sign of something thats really wrong.
    Is Ms Stubby a young Cat?
    You could get a few cans of Hills Vet Formula Canned , I am sure that they have aformula, that will help.
    And check Cats Constipation on Google!
    Good Luck with Ms Stubby, and please keep us informed.

    AWWWWW Miss Kitty is such a beautiful cat. In my opinion I would call the vet to see if her condition warrants a visit or ask if there is something you can do for her poor widdle sore bunny butt.

    I was also going to advise you to give her wet food. I give my guys and little girl about a tablespoon of wet food every night.

    Prayers on the way that Miss Kitty starts to feel better very soon.
