Hello all,
I just started my cat on a wet food diet of Soulistic grain free food, since the other stuff was making her poops beyond smelly. Also at the advice of fellow catsite members, I have her on some probiotics, to help her tummy. It has been two weeks since the change. Her poops no longer smell like death, but they are concerning. They look normal in every way, except they are black! I know this is usually a bad sign in humans, but in cats, I don't know. Yesterday she did seem a bit blah, but that could have been because it was my weekend, and I was just being lazy all day. She woke me up today for food, but hasn't really eaten what I have given her. Again this may be due to the food change, I am trying all the different kinds to see what she enjoys. She seems normal today, meowing, in fact right now she is bent in half cleaning her nether regions, as all cats like to embarrass you with and do in front of you. She did run a bit yesterday when I threw her toys. I am just worried that her poops look funky and something could be wrong... if you have any ideas why the poo is black, but not stinky, please let me know! She looks fine, eyes are bright, fur feels fine, she is still play biting me... I just, you know, am an overprotective worry of my cat.
Thanks!!
