Ok, Spencer or somebody might be able to help me out here. My cat Scooter appears to be constipated. My question is can cat hair block a cat's bowels?? He's been straining and can't get anything to come out, and he really started fussing and licking his bottom trying to stimulate bowel movement.

Recently we gave him a bath and he licked himself a lot after that. We also got tons of brush fulls of fur out of that guy after the bath. I tell you what, where does it all come from?? I swear I could just brush forever and it would be a never ending process. This started yesterday evening(but the bath was 2 days ago), and we have been watching him and this morning it was the same way. We've given him the laxitive but it's not helping. Is there some other remedy we could use to help him "go"? Or should a call into the vet be advisable??
