Question:
My cat's stomach is always so hard and bulging out makes her look like she is pregnant. She has a good appetite and drinks water everyday. When she has bowel movement it is hard can you tell me what possibly could be making her tummy bulge and feel so rock hard?

Answer:
Vickie,
It sounds like your cat may be constipated. This is usually due to ingesting hair from grooming. A simple fix may be to give hairball remedy, which is a mineral oil gel. If this does not help the situation you may need to take her to your veterinarian and have an x-ray taken to make sure there is no fluid or other problems in her abdomen.
Good Luck,
