Today the topic is constipation in cats. One of the biggest benefits for humans feeding their cats a balanced raw food diet is the quantity and odour of their cat’s faeces is next to nothing. The difference between those fed commercial diets and those raw fed are worlds apart. There is a difference between genuine constipation in your cat and simply ‘’normal’’ raw feed faeces. ‘Restlessness, lack of appetite, vomiting, and frequent trips to the litterbox to defecate without results requires veterinary attention’ whereas small, hard, dry, crumbly faeces made only a few times a week (at least 3, less than that may be indicative of constipation), is normal as cats are masters at conserving water because they evolved in hot, dry arid parts of the world. When cats groom, the hair is excreted in the faeces. If one breaks open the faeces, tightly packed together hair forms a good part of the dropping as a balanced raw meat diet is used almost entirely by the body before being excreted.
