Every few months my cat spends a few hours walking hunched over (as if trying to poop), meowing distressfully, and going to the litter box with nothing coming out. My vet has told me that it is just constipation and to make sure she is getting her liquids and taking probiotics. Other than meowing, she doesn’t appear to be in any pain or have any other signs on illness (still eating, drinking, and grooming; body relaxed; still jumping onto her cat tree).
Last time she was doing this, she vomited while trying to go in the litter box. I also noticed very watery liquid coming out of her butt that has a very unique smell (the vomit smelled the same — it’s almost sweet?).
Just trying to get second opinions on what this could be and whether it’s more serious than infrequent constipation. She also never coughs up hair balls, so I wonder if hair could cause this constipation.
