She has an approx. 6-8 mo. old male neutered cat. The last
few weeks he has started screaming when he has a bowel
movement, he is not constipated, occasionally it is a little
loose and he gets it all over the bathroom, he has no other
symptoms and plays, acts fine. He has been to the vet
repeatedly and they cannot find a problem and say he does
not scream there. Could anyone give us a clue what is
happening, she is very concerned. Thank you for your help.

If he doesn't scream at the Vets, it mighjt be the litter. Try
something without the chemicals. Do you feed him milk or
cheese? Most cats are lactose intolerant. What food did he
eat at the Vet Hospital He might also need a change of
food. Good luck.

Lactose intolerant? Cats? Huh? Is this some nuevo yuppie
discovery? I have an adult tom of 13 1/2 yrs that drinks a few
ounces of milk everytime I put it in front of him (3-4 times a
week). Constipation ... just like people ... need more water and
fibre. But don't rush out and whip up a bowl of Bran Flakes and
milk just yet. LOL

The normal cat's diet doesn't include milk and once a cat is weened
from mama's milk, they don't get much. Just like humans, if they
don't get milk products, it results in lactose intolarance. Your
cats don't have this since you give them milk.....which they don't
need btw.

In Rusty's case, I got him so young (est 2 weeks old) that he got
only cow's milk until he weaned himself. But to this day, he won't
pass up a small bowl of moo juice set down next to his Cat Chow.
Hehehhe. Rusty eats ANYTHING we do, in small samples. The list
includes cottage cheese, sharp cheese, pepperoni, good quality
sausage links, French fried potatoes, milk, carrot juice, coconut
milk, steak scraps, deep fried halibut (unless its got malt vinegar
on it), turkey, baked chicken, and real mashed potato. Is that odd
for a cat? Yes, it is!
