Why does my cat poop so much?
Normally cats defecate (poop) about once per day. If your cat is pooping more than that, you may be feeding a diet that is exceptionally high in insoluble fiber, which means that the fiber in the food cannot be digested and is passed out of the body. Typically, low quality grocery store brands fall into this category. Look for a higher quality food that is labeled to be lower in carbohydrates in order to decrease the volume and frequency of defecation.

Our old cat (19yrs) has had runny stools for a couple of months and cannot get medicine in him consistently because he's too wary. He only has 3 teeth so can't eat dry food. He is also going in various places around the house instead of litter box, h
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Poor Batman (great name!)! It is unfortunate that you can't medicate Batman but cats and toddlers are the hardest creatures to get medications in to! I'm going to assume that your vet tested him for parasites and ran full geriatric blood work to help find a cause for this protracted bout of diarrhea. I would confine Batman, personally, to contain the pooping to one room. Give him a break from trying to medicate him and order some probiotics. I like Purina Fortiflora because cats like it and you sprinkle the powder on the food once daily. If he likes it and there is no improvement in 7-10 days see if your Vet can compound metronidazole or tylosin in to a liquid to put in his food or into a treat. It costs more but if he will eat a medicated treat that would solve your problems. I would have your Vet order the treat in different flavors WITHOUT the medication added to see which he likes and so he thinks they are just treats and not medications. I ho

Recently, the cat has been diagnosed with I.B.D. He is eating grocery store canned wet food. He was given a steroid shot. The same food the other cat is receiving. I was told to give him probiotics to help with digestion. He no longer has diarrhea bu
If he has IBD then you should talk to your vet about trying a prescription hypoallergenic diet like d/d or z/d or possible an OTC diet like Science diet sensitive stomach. These diets are easier to digest and may help with his IBD and the smell of his stool.

why would a healthy (as far as I know) cat about 9 years old defecate in the house after years of going outside willingly.
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! This may be due to a change in the environment causing this change. Sometimes, this may be due to a gastrointestinal condition such as parasites which can be causing him to defecate more frequently being less able to hold it to go outside. If this continues to happen, it would be best to have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Best of luck!

Hello, My 12 year old cat is pooping outside of her litterbox. Funny thing is, she does poop inside the box, but then will poop out of the box on the carpet I'm the house. I am not sure what would be causing her to do this. There are times when she
I'm sorry that you are dealing with this frustrating problem! I'm glad to hear that she is reliably peeing in the box, but pooping outside the box is also, of course, problematic. Have there been any changes in the home that she might perceive as stressful? Any new pets, a major change in your schedule, holiday visitors, etc. All of these things could contribute to this type of behavior. Make it a point to spend a few minutes a day with her, just giving her attention. Engage her in play with a wand type toy, or just sit and pet her and chat to her. Sometimes some reassurance can be really beneficial. Also, make sure there is a litter box on every level of your home, (every story--basement, main floor, upstairs, etc) and if you have multiple cats, the number of litter boxes should be the# of cats plus 1. ( so 3 boxes if you have 2 cats). If she's not been to the vet for this issue, take her in. If she has arthritis, etc or is otherwise painful, pooping may be uncomfortab
