Bristol Stool Scale

I ran across this article which I found to be very informative. It talks about what consistency (softness) is considered healthy for your cat's stool. Also of interest is the Bristol Stool Scale. It is a rating system which describes the softness of the stool and attaches a number to it. This way you can talk to your vet about your cat's stool and make sure you are both on the same page as far as how soft it is. I showed the chart to my vet's office, and they said it is a widely used scale. (They added that there are others, although they did not mention specifics.)

I just love how much we get into poo on this site...

A friend gave me a sample of a product for humans called Motion Potion .. I think it's just Australian.  Anyway it has the same chart on the container.. useful for cats and humans. ... So, everyone, you can now number your poo!

I don't mean to be disrespectful to your post, Raintyger.. it's a great idea
