Those prone to constipation often do best on a wet diet that is high in fiber, allowing for a good hydration level and preventing the stool becoming too hard. Owners can increase water intake further by adding water to meals and using a cat water fountain. Allergies/Toxicity: Katalox has been reported to cause respiratory irritation in some individuals. See the articles Wood Allergies and Toxicity and Wood Dust Safety for more information. Constipation is not as common as some owners would assume, but for those cats who do suffer with ongoing constipation, it can cause them a whole host of issues. Owners often need to stay on top of things, to avoid the need for hospitalisation.
