The color of feces pulled by cats is also an important indicator to judge the health status of cats. Under normal circumstances, the color of cat feces should be brown or dark brown. If the color is too dark or unusually light, it may mean that the cat has something wrong with its stomach. At the same time, if bright red blood is found in the feces, it may be that the cat's intestine has been cut.
If the color of the cat's feces changes, accompanied by stench, diarrhea, loss of appetite and other symptoms, it is recommended to take the cat to a pet hospital for examination and necessary treatment.
2. The shape of cat excrement
The shape of cat feces is also an important sign to judge the gastrointestinal health of cats. The normal shape of cat feces should be like a long sausage, organized but not hard. If the feces are too dry, too smelly, too thin or liquid, you need to pay attention.
Dry feces indicate that cats don't drink enough water or eat too much meat. Too smelly feces may be due to too smelly food or intestinal bacterial infection. Too thin or liquid feces may represent diseases, such as gastrointestinal infection in cats.
3, the number of times the cat shit
The defecation frequency of cats is a good health index, and different cats have different defecation frequencies. Normal and healthy cats have to defecate at least once a day, but it is normal to defecate two or three times a day.
If the cat has indigestion and reduced defecation, it may mean that the cat's stomach is affected. If the frequency of defecation increases, it is recommended to take the cat to the hospital for examination, and find that there are problems such as ascaris and bacterial infection that need timely treatment.
4. The sense of smell of cat excrement
Cat excrement will have a certain smell, but too pungent or unbearable smell needs attention. Generally speaking, the smell of cat excrement is faint, a bit like the smell of earth, and there will be no excessive pungent or unpleasant smell.
If the cat's excrement emits an unusually pungent or unpleasant smell, it may be that the food contains more fish or meat. In addition, if the cat's intestines are infected with pathogenic bacteria, the feces will also have an unpleasant smell and an unusual taste. At this time, it is necessary to take the cat to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in time.
