Kitten's excrement is usually small and soft, similar to a small sausage ball, brown or dark brown. Because cats have different eating habits, the shit they pull out will be different. Generally speaking, cats eat dry cat food and canned food, so the shit they pull out is hard. However, if some cats eat wet food or other foods for a long time, their feces may become soft or yellow.
The excrement discharged by cats also contains some indigestion residues, such as hair, carotene and other substances, which are usually slender strips with different shapes.
2. The smell of cat excrement
The smell of kitten's poop is pungent, especially after it eats some wet food or canned food, because these foods contain more fat and meat, which are easy to ferment and rot, thus producing an unpleasant smell.
If the cat eats dry cat food, it will not have this pungent smell, but there will still be some unpleasant smells because the bacteria in the intestine continue to decompose the food to produce gas.
3, the frequency of the kitten shit
The frequency of defecation of kittens is closely related to their growth, diet and daily activities. Generally speaking, kittens of 2-6 months need to defecate 1-3 times a day, and adult cats may control it to 1-2 times a day. Of course, the frequency of defecation will be different for different breeds and individuals of cats.
4. Health tips for cats to shit.
By observing the cat's poop, we can also know its health. If the color of the cat's poop changes greatly, the texture becomes extremely soft or hard, and the taste is extremely pungent, which may mean that there is a physical disease. For example, mucus-like stool may be caused by color erosion, indigestion and other problems, while hard stool may be a manifestation of constipation, which requires timely defecation. If you find that the cat's stool is abnormal, you need to seek medical advice in time.
