Answer 3

If a cat does not deffacate it is possibly constipated. Some cats who are constipated have dehydration. Give your cat a lot of fresh water throughout the day and night. Just get a big bowl that the cat can drink out of and fill it, it will last for hours.

Answer 4

Your cat will vomit a lot, and may lose weight and be malnourished. You can treat this by getting a tube of hairball relief medication from your vet or pet store. It's meat-flavored so your cat will eat it, but it's basically lubricant that helps the hairballs slide down the intestine and go out without getting stuck in the stomach.

Answer 5
