If you think the dry helps, you could try adding some of it back into her diet. Have to be careful with cats because their anal glands are more likely to abscess than a dog's which will cost more money in the long run.

She's no spring chicken so we just wrote it off as old age, but it was always awkward when guests tried to laugh it off as if it was normal. We tried scolding her, modifying her diet and even gave her her own rug but the problem only seems to get worse. My wife suggested it's time to put her in a retirement home but that cat sure would miss her!weedwaqueurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15371335564725744689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382480381687088490.post-79716929245101493502015-03-31T20:03:13.907-05:002015-03-31T20:03:13.907-05:00I did not pay attention to this issue.
