Mr T and Chloe both eat exactly the same food - Chloe slightly less.

Mr T - run for cover!!

Chloe - tolerable.

We, too, have the "fun" of nowhere suitable for a tray but a quiet corner of the kitchen and both take great delight in having a poo just at the point Im trying to cook something  :tired:

Still, I wouldnt be without them for the World  :Luv2:

Oh, and Pinkbear, sounds like your ex and my ex had something in common -our  daughter used to say that he should hang a sign on the loo door saying "Caution - dumping of toxic waste in progress"  I swear the  :censored: ate balsa wood, too   :innocent: :sick: :evillaugh: :rofl:

I agree with Den, some cats are smellier than others. My Meeko stinks and he eats the same as the others. I know instantly when he's been in the tray, even if I'm upstairs!

Yuk!  Well, this morning I discovered a lovely humungous, malodourous (sp?) poo in the basin in the bathroom.  Lovely surprise!  Forget the smell, the very size of it was shocking!  He must have been storing it up for days!  Not sure how to deal with this new problem - I have posted my concerns in another thread.   :sick:

ETA:  I guess we will have to put up with the nasty smells though coz I bought a bumper packet of Felix pouches 48 for £10 at Tesco - adult size though - couldn't find kitten even in the normal size boxes.

Once you guys have agreed on what makes a cat's  :censored: stink, please can you turn your analysis to my ex-hubby??? I swear I never fed him JWB in his life but he could still strip the wall paper off.  :shify:

Some foods contain Yukka which is supposed to minimize pong?

AFAIK, JWB, PAH own premium and burns - also some others but I'm not sure which.

Alice's are rotten  :sick: - She does have a tiny portion of sardine every night so could be that - fish is supposed to cause stinkers. The worst ever was when Kylie was on Hill's R/D as it is high fibre - I'm convinced that high wheat foods cause it.

Don't get that problem feeding raw and high meat wet thank goodness! Well, it smells of course, but only momentarily, no lingering smells I'm glad to say. Mine get a bit of dry at bedtime, usually Hi Life biscuits, but I've bought the odd bag of Applaws dry, and like Den said, that was a whole different ball game!  :sick:

I think some cats are smellier than others. My cat has particularly stinky ones, I gave him applaws dry the other day and he entered a whole new level of stinkiness. The smell lingered for hours. But some cats I've worked with hardly smelt at all.

If I feed mine lamb flavoured food it's just  :sick:

lay me down, let me go, feeling heavy the ground is cold,
lay me down take it slow I'm ready to stumble, sing & then swing low

I'm afraid, Nutzy, you didn't read the small print on the box :rofl:

cat poo stinks, fact

best bet is as deep a tray as kittie can get in to, so that you can tilt it as soon as he exits to cover properly the  :sick:

have you discovered yet, by the way, that Rajah will invariably use the tray when you have visitors? :evillaugh:

The problem could be the so called "Premium" Tesco food as it isn't premium food at all and full of wheat cereal which cats bodies just aren't designed to process. Proplan is fine though.

Is it usual for cats to have really smelly poos  :sick:.  We live in a small flat, and unfortunately the cat box can only be in the kitchen which is open plan with the lounge and when Rajah does his toilet, we are asphyxiated.  We try and dispose of the offending poop as quickly as possible, but even then the whole flat stinks, particularly since we can't open the windows due to OH not having sorted out the window screens yet. >:(

He is eating Felix wet food, and has Tesco Premium Crunchy dry food along with ProPlan dry food for kittens.
