Title: Old cat smell...
Post by: JackSpratt on September 29, 2009, 10:37:39 AM

Well, more specifically Mog. She's started smelling of poo with alarming frequency and I'm not sure why. There's sometimes a little bit still stuck in the obvious place, but that can't be what's making her smell this strongly.....it's really rank. :sick: Any tips? I've never encountered this before with any of my other older cats.
