Diet and physical health

There are many possible factors that can lead to abnormally smelly cat poop. The most commonly mentioned are diet, infection and digestion.

Diet:

It is often difficult to determine which food ingredient is responsible for the odor.

You can suggest that the client not give the cat a specific food (or change the food) for a period of time, which may help him find the reason. Prey may also be a factor, such as bugs, mice, and small reptiles (of course, it is now difficult for cat owners to catch prey).

In addition, vitamin additives can also produce smelly feces. In fact, there are very few situations where cats need to be supplemented with vitamins and minerals, and today’s cat food is nutritionally balanced. Try to follow your veterinarian's advice when choosing vitamin supplements.

Infection:

When infectious enteritis occurs, bacteria such as Escherichia coli, salmonella, and some viruses in the intestines can cause inflammation, diarrhea, and unpleasant gas.

Some intestinal parasites can also cause bloating or gas in cat owners. Giardia, in particular, can cause cats to produce chronic, foul-smelling feces, whether it causes diarrhea or not. Likewise, coccidia and trichomonas can cause intestinal inflammation or diarrhea.

If a customer asks that his or her cat's poop suddenly becomes foul-smelling, it is best to suggest that the cat go to the hospital for examination to see if it is infected.

Digestion:

Some conditions of indigestion and malabsorption often make the smell of cat feces unbearable, which may be related to undigested or unabsorbed fats and starches.

A research team from Japan's Iwate University found that the unpleasant smell of cat excrement may also be related to sulfur compounds.

The results of this courageous research were published in the Journal of Chemical Ecology. Researchers found large amounts of sulfur compounds in the feces used by male cats to mark their territories, but were noticeably lacking in dog feces. This compound emits an unpleasant rotten egg smell that makes people frown and question their love for their cat owners.

In addition, cat excrement also contains butyric acid, propionic acid and other ingredients that can also emit odors. These odors are their "cat" characteristics, but they also make it more difficult to eliminate the odor.

Advice given by pet stores

Choosing the right cat food is one thing, but excellent cat food often contains a high amount of meat, which will inevitably make the poop smelly. If you have health problems, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in time.

If the odor has already occurred, the pet store may recommend some odor-eliminating products to pet owners, such as fragrances that can mask odors, odor-eliminating sprays that can decompose odors, deodorizing cat litter and other products, which can alleviate or eliminate the smell of cats.
