I use Swheat Scoop with my 11-month old kitten (along with Nutro food) and quite honestly, never smell a thing from the litter box. My apartment is fairly small as well and even if we're right beside the litter, you can never smell it. Now I did smell some when I used a lesser quality food so...

My Stella sleeps on the fuzzy toilet cover sometimes I almost feel bad shooing her off of it in the middle of the night if I have to go to the washroom! She also sleeps on the bathmats. I think they must like the texture of them.

The white belly is recessive, which means that you need parents that either both have a white belly, or carry the gene for it. I'm assuming the white belly is similar to that of mice and rats (but I may be wrong), which is recessive in those species (I work in genetics).

I started feeding my kitten Eukanuba because it had the highest protein and fat content that I could find, as well as having meat as the first three ingredients. She's a really tiny cat and I wanted her to get some meat on her bones. So far, it seems to be working. Her coat is also a lot softer...

You can feed treats for hairball prevention that contain enzymes (such as bromelain) which helps to break up hairballs. I feed my kitten one from Medi-Cal (I think it's only a Canadian company) but I'm sure there are plenty of good ones out there that use enzymes.

I think the wet food is fine. The dry food though has animal digest according to their website. AuthorityÂ174 Kitten Food Top Ten Ingredients Chicken Meal Brewers Rice Corn Gluten Meal Animal Fat (preserved with Vitamin E) Ground Corn Animal Digest Dried Beet Pulp Dried Egg Product Canola...

The Purina One Growth and Development does have animal digest in it, from their website: Ingredients Chicken, chicken by-product meal, soy flour, corn gluten meal, brewers rice, animal fat preserved with mixed-tocopherols (form of Vitamin E), fish meal (source of DHA), whole grain corn...

Authority kitten food (the PetSmart brand) also has animal digest in its top ten ingredients. I was contemplating buying it, but didn't like the sounds of that ingredient.

Okay, thanks. I read about individual cats having problems (probably like any food) but wasn't sure if it was due to inferior ingredients in Eukanuba.

Why is Eukanuba not so good? The breakdown looked okay for it but I'm still trying to get the hang of understanding all of the ingredients.

What about a sort of whining sound? My kitten does this. She doesn't meow very often, but she always makes these kind of whiny mmmm sounds (that's the only way I can think to describe them! They are adorable). She does it a lot when she's sniffing out new things, when she wants food, or when...

I think that actually may have been the problem. After you mentioned it, I realized that I had filled the litter up more than I usually do (I use Swheat Scoop and it sticks to the bottom if I don't fill it enough!). Lately, I've only been putting about an inch and a half in it and she's had no...

Would there be any other signs of an anal gland problem? After I cleaned her up, she was purring and playful, completely back to normal. Also, in terms of the fiber; I free-feed her Eukanuba Kitten Chicken And Rice, with a pouch of wet food daily. Is there anything else I could give her to add...

Hi everyone, My kitten Stella (who is about 8 months old) has been having a few problems with the litterbox. One night, she got a lot of feces stuck to her backend (it wasn't diarrhea or anything, it was solid..I think she may have got scared). I washed her off and cut some of the hair (she's...
