I really thought that mixing a laxative in every meal would be bad for them. I asked around and even found out that people I know took a laxative everyday. Still, would that be safe for animals? I guess I’ll find out. Though it couldn’t be any worse than seeing them in pain trying to move their bowels but unable to. Buying a bottle of Miralax (or Clearlax, which is cheaper) is a small price to pay for a healthy cat.
