Over the last month I've transitioned my cats (ages 2,4 & 9) from Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul dry to Wellness Core dry. It was gradual, I mixed the two with more and more Wellness each day, over the course of 2 weeks. They're now eating total Wellness Core dry. The 2 & 4 yr olds also eat Wellness canned, but the 9 year old won't eat canned, dry is her entire diet.
I've noticed that the poops in the litter box over the last couple days are very small and round, kinda like big rabbit-turds. I have three cats, and I'm not finding ANY (what I would consider normal) poops.
I've seen in other threads where people have given up on Wellness Core for this reason. I guess my question is, is this even a sign of a problem? Or is this normal for such a high protein food because their bodies are using the majority of the food and therefore producing less waste?
If these little turds mean they aren't handling the food properly, I'll switch back. The kids themselves seem fine.. healthy, (even more) playful, eating, drinking, softer coats... my lola, who already had the softest coat I've ever felt, is even softer.
Thanks for any advice... I know there are lots of food experts here!
