Gosh, I can't tell you all how much I appreciate your replies to this subject. I lost a kitty to constipation many years ago but now my new little girl seems to be having the same kind of problems. I am going to try the chicken broth and Vaseline or olive oil until I can get to the store to buy the hairball remedy. I wonder if the fact that she won't drink anything but milk (which I water down about 1/4; any more than that and she snubs liquids altogether) isn't contributing to the problem. Anything dairy and she's right there nagging me for it. I tried a half teaspoon Fiberall with 1/4 C. water and a tablespoon of cream (for her favorite flavoring) this morning so I'm not sure if that will work yet or not. Here's hoping
