😺 Luna Says
Aloe vera is supposed to help with gastric motility. Just be certain any aloe vera you use for a cat is inner fillet ONLY (not whole leaf), as the aloe skin is toxic. Also avoid aloe vera juice that contains lemon, since that’s toxic to cats, too!

Don’t know what I’d do without this… It almost became a full-blown emergency once when I didn’t poo for three days. Yikes! This keeps the plumbing flowing smoothly.
🟢 Raw Paws Organic Pumpkin Powder
😺 Luna Says
I’ve had some trouble in the past with, ahem, ruptured anal glands. Pumpkin helps bulk up my stool and naturally keep the glands expressed. Dad says this powder is more convenient and less wasteful than canned pumpkin.
