I saw the report about cat food having significant levels of heavy metals. Switched to poultry with less metals. Has more fat. Cat shit smells like shit. Get new food, less fat, talk to vet. Lets gooo (lemmy.world)

What were you feeding them before? What are you feeding them now? Things like high carbs and even certain sources of carbs are another common culprit for stinky poops.

I have a litter box right next to my couch and the only time I really notice fresh poop stink is when I have fosters battling parasites. My cats are fed almost exclusively wet food, absolutely no fish.

How do you keep them fed regularly?

I work 12s. I do not want food to go bad and also do not want them to get hungry
