Ideal kitty poop?
Please describe ideal kitty poo. Is it light coloured or dark? Firm is good, right? But what is ideal moisture - not spongy but not rock dry? Big nuggets or little nuggets? Is it better if the "nuggets" are all attached in a single long stool, if they are partially separate with a few pairs stuck together, or all completely separated? Is it better if they float in water, or sink? Pictures, if you dare ... EDIT oh yeah, I don't actually mean kittens ... adult cats. Last edited by Edgewaters; April 1st, 2007 at 03:07 PM. |

My kitty's poops are firm, smallish and don't really produce much of a smell. I'm not really sure of the colour cause they get covered in litter, but when one of them doesn't fully cover a turd they're usually a medium-dark brown colour. I can definitely tell the difference in poops from the last food we fed them and the food we feed them now, much nicer poops, size and smell.

i got a good laugh at imagining you testing the poop to float or sink... !!! Stacer answered pretty good!
Here is a question for you stacer, what do you feed your cats? |

It's good stuff! If the clay litters are bothering you (silica dust etc) you might want to try it: http://www.elegantcatlitter.com/ (most of their claims are true - except tracking, they still track the pellets out of the box) Last edited by Edgewaters; April 1st, 2007 at 05:14 PM. |

We used to use Swheat Scoop flushable and it was a toss up if they were floaters or sinkers. I don't think that floatability would correlate to a healthier poop.

no offense.. but why are we discussing cat poop in the dog/cat food forum?

Because every dog thinks that cat poop is just about the best treat around?

Is seems like our kitties' poops are similar to what Stacer described.
- medium to dark - firm - not sure about moisture as I've never gotten out the gloves, but it seems quite dry - float We used to feed Whiskas, then moved on to Nutrience, and then have since moved onto Felidae for the last week or so. There doesn't seem to be much difference since moving from Nutrience to Felidae, but when both are compared to Whiskas, they poop a lot less and it doesn't smell nearly as bad. We also use a biodegradable, flushable litter available at the Atlantic Superstore. President's Choice Green EDIT: For reference, our kitties are just shy of a year old.

Ah ... well ... I just figured it's all about diet. What goes in must come out etc. I figure poop is one of the first ways you can tell how they're reacting to new food.
