My 8 month old cat Ellie has had loose bowel movements the past 4 days. It isn't diarrhea because she only goes once a day, two at the most. The second day she did go twice back to back but that's it. I have seen her straining some while pooping. She is acting perfectly normal. We got a new kitten a few weeks ago and he is about 6 months. She was hesitant at first but has adjusted very well to him now. She has actually been the most playful and active with him these past four days. Nothing has changed about her diet. She is very picky about the food she eats. Sometimes when we're eating we'll give her a couple bites of meat and she MIGHT eat it. She has never had any tummy trouble at all. Our male cat, Hanson, will eat absolutely anything. So it's strange that she is the one having this issue. I called the vet yesterday and made an appointment for today, but this morning we decided to call and cancel because she hadn't pooped anymore and was playing and running around the house. This afternoon I checked her litter box and she had another loose poop. We feed them hard food but we don't stick to one particular kind. Right now it's Purina Smart Blend or something. She's been eating this kind for about a month. We should probably switch to wet food. Any advice or help?

ALSO, my other cat Hanson has had the WORST smelling poop the whole time we've had him. It is a horrible smell that stinks up the whole house when he goes. We thought he was just adjusting to a new environment and new food at first, but it hasn't let up. Any advice would be appreciated!
