    Hard, dry stools are often linked to low hydration, even if a cat drinks from a faucet. Try increasing moisture by adding more wet or homemade food, adding water to meals, and using a water fountain or multiple water bowls to encourage drinking. For my own cats, I rotate dry food with a fresh wet option (Billi Treats) because moisture helps digestion and coat health. If constipation continues, a vet visit is important to rule out underlying issues and discuss safe stool softeners/syrups if needed.
