High Fiber content is important as is enough liquid in their diets. Also making sure the cat is active helps. If you suspect your cat has hemorroids, it is important to take the cat to the vet. There are various treatments from medications to surgery. Please avoid any at home remedies.

Well, there is a cure. There is some medicine that can be prescribed from the vet. Go to your vet and get it. Also improve the diet and make sure your cat is active.

You can get cream or ointment that can help treat them. Talk to your vet ways to prevent them from occurring in the future.

You need a vet in case this is prolapsed rectum or a tumor, but even if not, this requires treatment. You need to make sure your cat has water available on demand, and check to make sure his food doesn't contain ash. Change your litter to something like Feline Pine, particularly if he is a male, avoid clay or clumping.

I assume you are talking about anal glands or sacs, the small ducts located on the sides of the anus. These glands fill up with fecal material and debris, can become impacted or infected and have to be professionally drained or surgically removed. Giving your cat a high fiber diet and keeping the anus clean can help prevent minor problems.

This can be hereditary, diet related due to not enough fiber or fluids, due to obesity, sitting for a long time and straining while going. Prevention is key and treatment may include ointments

First, take your cat to see a vet. A hemorrhoid cream purchased over the counter can help if it's external. A high fiber diet can prevent them.

You should talk to your vet about the best way to cure them and then prevent them from occurring again. There are ointments and creams available that are very effective to treat hemorrhoids.
