I'm glad that this subject was reopened. We have 3 cats. Sophie, who is about 7 years old, recently started to poop on a rug near the front door. The litter box is in another room.. We keep it clean at all times, changed the litter and when that didn't help we went back to the old litter.. Still didn't help.. She is diffently constipated, so we bought some Laxatone from Petco a couple of days ago. We also added a little tuna fish with oil to her food hoping that would help..
We'll take her to the vet next. Never thought of Metamucil.. Today she used the litter box and seemed to not be so constipated. We'll do whatever it take to solve this problem..She is the sweetest cat and we love her, so we have to fix this problem..

What really sucks is when they can't complete a bowel movement and they drag their butt on the carpet to get it all out of them. Yuck!
The laxatone helps, we use that too. But we found the stuff they sell at Petco is watered down or something. We had to keep it in the fridge to keep it semi-paste like. We buy ours from the Vet. Its actually cheaper and works better and stays paste like without refrigeration. Also the Laxatone will cause them to urinate more. So don't panic if the litter box has a lot of wet litter in it.
The vet is the one that told us to use the Metamucil. I was skeptical. We were using canned pumpkin. Very effective, but cats hate it. Turns out the Metamucil is really easy to give them. You can sprinkle the Metamucil on some wet food and they have no clue. Plus, because its fiber, it won't hurt them. You can't accidentally give them too much. We bought a generic version of it. Very inexpensive.
