My newly indoor 3 year old female is now indoors all the time and poops every other day. It is small and hard. Is this ok?

Like Sharky said, tuna is fine but only as a once-in-a-while treat.

My cats poop every 1-2 days, but usually every day. Is your cat drinking a lot of water? Usually when a cat eats primarily dry food they aren't getting enough water. I would look at water fountain's like the PetMate Fresh Flow ones. My cats drink a LOT more water with these then they do when I just put it out in a dish.

I would try to get your cat to eat more wet food, what wet food brands have you tried feeding it?

My cats poop twice a day on average, and they eat mostly dry food (EVO) and some wet food every morning. I think most cats poop everyday, like humans. Firm is different than hard, maybe some hairball meds are in order?

Have you tried canned chicken? My cats eat that sometimes as a treat. Just some ideas

She eats canned tuna (1 spoon a day) to get her pill, canned 9 Lives or Sheba and dry Indoor Berkley Jensen or Deli Cat. We cannot get many choices of food on island but I am going to the US Sept. for 3 weeks so can get what you recommend. She is an indoor cat. She pees 2x a day and I never see her drink but am not home all the time. THANKS

My baby-cat poops once in 2 days ever since I switched from wet & dry to dry only. Seems she does drink more water with dry-only but now she stopped pooping every day.


When she was fed with wet & dry, her poo poo got kinda loose & stinky.
My vet told me to cut down on wet to prevent that. I dunno which is better for her, though...


Just FYI, she is on Hill's prescription s/d.
