When we needed to get more fluids into our beasts (can we say hard poop & owie?) our vet suggested canned pumpkin. I was soooo skeptical. We had been giving a large tablespoon of yogurt/day to one miss because she is a very gassy lassie, and not too surprising they do like plain, nonfat yogurt (and it totally helps the gas). While the plain punkin was indeed a nose-turner-upper, mixed with just a touch of yogurt, that punkin becomes a tasty TREAT. One they *insist* on getting every morning, thank you very much, just bring it.

So while you can't make a kitty drink more water, you can get more moisture into them, and heaping tablespoon of pumgert a day keeps the hard poops away. (Any needed pills get crushed up in the side serving of 1/2 teasp. of tuna, because we HATE pills too, but tuna is a TREAT and would never have anything bad hidden in it.)
