Thread: Accidents and soft stools. my life! my life!

Our younger ones seemed very sensitive to diet change and fish / chicken also seemed to help.

As for going outside, we discovered that 2 of them were obsessed with eating wood lice and moths and the next morning we could guarantee problems.......

Sorry Peter but that post certainly brings a smile to the face along with some "I've been there feelings"...
Don't think missing the worming will have made that much difference,an important factor in the calender but not to have caused all of them to be as they are,I would plump with diet,something too rich in there for all their tums but by trying so many different ones including both wet & dry you look as if you have a mammoth task to try & find out which,think I would go bland for a couple of days & then go back to the food you originally had them on that obviously worked ok then if you want to change do it very gradually with just one occasional change at a time. I don't see any problem in sticking with mostly one feeding program it is the way I mostly get out of having tummy problems,they do have the odd different tin or sachet of meat for a treat but if I give them something that is richer for more thah a couple of days at a time guess what I get but normally down the bottom of the hall & mostly Pansy P.
Good to know that they all look apologetic for you dad & fingers crossed for you that they keep going in the proper place,although can still picture the towel neatly being used as a cover...x

I'm not even sure feeding one type of food and sticking to it always helps. Our 3 are 14 months old now, one of them had a particularly sensitive tummy when she was smaller (which has settled, touch wood) and Moonlight seems to be the sensitive one now! Sunshine, our boy, seems to have a cast iron stomach - even if he is a wimp! If they get the runs I tend to give them prokolin for a bit and mix Hills i/d biscuits in with their usual ones (or give them that exclusively if it's really bad!). Trouble is, if only one of them has a problem the other 3 have to suffer (wish they could learn to have their own bowl and eat their own food - but that's another story!).

Oh Steve how I know the after effects of the woodlice snack!

The last time I ended up with a very unhappy Hector as I had him tucked under my arm over the bath with the shower head on full washing his bloomers!!!!! Most undignified.

I've been having problems with Mufasa too over the last few days. I starved him yesterday for 24 hours and then reintroduced his kibble today with some fresh fish and chicken this evening - all fine so far! Sadly and most upsetting for him, the only thing that could have caused this (in my opinion) was the new Dreamies advent calendar. He's only ever had Temptations before which have been fine - wonder what the difference is? Or maybe it was a midnight woodlice snack hmmmmn! Hope the boys get sorted soon, clearing up one cat is bad enough.

I don't know if it's any use, but I found that too much Bozita gives the demon-cat variable stools... I originally fed him Bozita twice a day and had Royal Canin dry down for whenever he wanted but now I feed Whiskas once a day and Bozita once a day and I've found we have fewer accidents and fewer claggots!

Not very scientific, but after HiLife kitten last night (dry still down) and this morning and Bertie delivered something approaching solid this morning. A sampler of one, while waiting to leave for work is not proof yet, but here's hoping.

Why do we get so excited about our cats poos,is it a very sad life we lead,when we first started showing Merl & stayed away for the night he never used to do a poo so from leaving here mid afternoon on a Friday {at that point not knowing when he had last been either]until well after arriving home late Sunday evening he wouldn't have "been",wee yes but that all,the first time I woke up to a stink during the night whilst away I was over the moon,had to wake the OH to tell him that Merl had at last done a s**t while on his hols,brilliant,OH not amused...
Good old Bertie hope your brothers are just as obliging....x

I am very confused about Dreamies and Temptations! When we were in the US in the summer we bought Mufasa some Temptations. They were in a virtually identical packet as the Dreamies that are sold over here in the UK. However, our Temptations are in a cat head shaped box. All these treats seem to be sold by Mars Petcare. My problem is that Mufasa can eat both the Temptations products, but I 'think' it was the Dreamies advent calendar that upset his tummy. Does anyone have any idea if these are all the same treats?? Candes, maybe I have a bad advent calendar?? (I'm sorry if this is off-topic but it is about bad tummies)!
