LOL. Yeah, that sounds about right actually.
They do eat. Thank goodness. We need to get them something that doesn't stink up the whole house T_T our vet will know by Monday though.
Other than the stinky ass shit, they are perfect
Have you tried probiotics? Either in natural pumpkin or the bottles of probiotic drops. Fixing your cat's digestive track is a good start to ease such stinky poops.
Some stink is fine, just like our own. Once it's buried, or flushed like a humans, it's not as bad.
Don't use highly scented litter, some cat's won't bury their poops if it's too floral (or other) for even them.
I've tried about 10 different litters. She just wants to pee on a weewee pad. Most days she poops on the floor in front of the box. My Mom used to put down newspaper for her to poop on. I thought that was ridiculous, so i spent 3 years cleaning up floor poop before i gave in and accepted that newspaper poop is better.
It sometimes happens. Cats sure are fickle. I've been raised by cats my whole life, and each one was unique with their bathroom habits.
At least they went bathroom!
We use unscented baking soda, I use it whenever I scoop.
I woll also ask my vet about probiotics. Not a bad idea
Switching diets can cause issues, so if it was just a short trial, maybe the smell is from them adapting to it, and continuing will let things settle. The vet may know why it's smelling more, maybe the better diet and adding something with it will neutralize whatever reaction is going on.
There is also the litter question. I think some litters work better with different cats, both in absorbing the smells and also encouraging them to bury it better.
I will do that. The new food will not come until Monday anyway and that is when her clinic will be open. She will know better than my wife and I hehe
I'm loving the corn litter. I think the brand is world's best or something like that. It's great for my two standard issues, but smells bad for my void. She doesn't use the litter much anyway - i put some in the bottom with a weewee pad on top, so it only bad when she misses the pad. Cats are weird.
My solution to that: put the litter box in the bathroom and run the extractor fan 24/7 😅
