I suppose Exlax doesn't work on cats? Seems to me that turns everything liquid... and yes unfortunately I do know from personal experience...  Or I suppose if it's already been generated...but is just stuck...Exlax wouldn't do any good....
Never mind...
This is probably TMI, but, a few years ago, I had eaten about 30 Velamints' Chocolate Mints within a half hour (about one every minute...they're very good) and within a couple of hours, I felt a little rumbling in my tummy.  Very shortly I went to the bathroom and...whooosh!!!  EVERYTHING came out (if you know what I'm sayin')!!  But, it was not an uncomfortable experience...not that I specifically 
enjoyed it, but there was no discomfort at all. 

 So, when most products that contain either sorbitol or manitol say "Excessive consumption may produce a laxative effect," they ain't kidding!!
