My kitten's poop stinks and I think it's her diet.

Hello, my kitten JoJo (Josephine) is 7 months old. I feed her a bowl of dry Purina Kitten Chow to last while I'm away at work all day. She onlys eats 1/3 to half of the bowl. When I come home, I feed her Friskies wet canned food for dinner. Immediately, she eats 1/3 of the wet cat food then scurries off to poop in her litter box. As soon as she does her business, my apt. smells like a grown man just took a dump in my living room. It smells bad! Her poop never smells this bad when she eats dry food. I want to stop giving her the wet canned food but she loves it and gets excited for it. Any suggestions of a healthy diet to make her poop not so stinky? Thanks :-)

If JoJo is making the smelly poop immediately after eating the wet food, I wouldn't blame that particular food since it's unlikely it's coming right out of her in poop form.

It's usually ingredients that cats' digestive systems don't process well that make their poop smelly; those ingredients are often grains and other carby ingredients but it can vary a lot, depending on the cat's individual sensitivities. 

What Friskies wet food are you feeding JoJo? Is it a "classic pate" or one of their other canned foods?

Ok, thanks @LisaHE. I feed her Friskies "meaty bits" canned food in different varieties.

Some foods have made my cats smell terrible. I haven't tried Friskies but Dine smelled horrendous as did the hydrolyzed hypoallergenic food. I'm not sure what friskies wet has in it, but in Australia Friskies dry isn't the greatest food. It's usually got cereal listed as a first ingredient. Sometimes it's worth paying a little more if you can for a food that at least has a meat meal listed as the first ingredient (applaws is pretty good, at the supermarket and not too dear).

When I first got my kitten 2 months ago, she was being fed Purina kitten chow before, so I ended up buying a bag to slowly wean her off of it because I wanted her on something higher quality, and for that first month while she was still eating the Purina, her litter box REEKED every time she went. (even though you said it happens right after she eats the Friskies, it's possible the smell is coming from the food she ate/digested earlier in the day) Once my cat started eating the other food full time, the smell improved A LOT.  I don't even notice when she goes now unless I look in the box.  Most grain-free foods seem to make the smell improve from what I've heard.  I'm personally feeding Whole Earth Farms now which is very low priced but also really healthy ingredients.

I too, started off with Purina Healthy Kitten when I adopted my gal.  Her business did have a powerful odor at first  In the months since most of her food has been of the no corn, no wheat, no soy variety and I can tell there's a big difference.  The odor of her little gift cards no long drive me out of the house.

ok, I'll look into that. Thanks
