As cat parents, we want our feline companions to be happy, healthy, and full of energy. But when digestive issues strike—whether it’s vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, or food sensitivities—it can leave both you and your cat feeling frustrated. Fortunately, the right diet plays a huge role in improving digestion and overall gut health.

At Birdie & Louie, we craft our recipes with high-quality proteins, easily digestible ingredients, and functional foods that help support sensitive stomachs. Let’s dive into common feline digestive issues and how the right food can make a difference.

Common Digestive Issues in Cats



1. Food Sensitivities & Allergies
Some cats have trouble digesting certain proteins or additives, leading to vomiting, diarrhea, skin irritation, or excessive licking. The key is eliminating common allergens and offering high-quality, digestible ingredients.

✅ Solution: Birdie & Louie’s wet food options, including Chicken & Beef and Chicken & Lamb, provide single-source proteins and no unnecessary fillers, making them a great choice for sensitive stomachs.

2. Upset Stomach & Occasional Vomiting
If your cat frequently vomits after eating, it could be due to fast eating, food intolerance, or poor-quality ingredients in their diet.

✅ Solution: Our Tuna & Papaya and Tuna & Pineapple formulas include natural digestive enzymes from fruit, which help break down proteins and aid digestion, reducing the likelihood of upset stomachs.

3. Diarrhea & Loose Stools
Frequent diarrhea can be caused by food intolerance, stress, infections, or sudden diet changes. A consistent, nutrient-rich diet is crucial to firming up stools.

✅ Solution: Our Tuna Tuesday and Seafood Sunday recipes feature high-moisture content to support hydration and omega-3-rich fish, which helps soothe inflammation in the gut.

4. Constipation & Hard Stools
Cats who struggle with hard stools or infrequent bowel movements may not be getting enough moisture or fiber in their diet.

✅ Solution: Birdie & Louie’s Tuna & Olives provides healthy fats to promote smoother digestion, while our wet food formulas naturally increase moisture intake.

5. Weight Management & Overeating Issues
Cats who eat too quickly or gain excess weight often need a balanced, fiber-rich diet to support proper digestion and keep them feeling full longer.

✅ Solution: Our Chicken & Lamb and Chicken & Beef recipes deliver lean protein for muscle maintenance, while our two dry food options provide a crunchy texture to slow down eating and support dental health.
