The problem isn’t so much laying them out-it’s that in the act of covering them, the little runt steps in it, and it gets imbedded in her toes.
So far, though, the last few times we’ve been able to catch her before she steps in it. So either my mother or I hold her, while the other scoops out the offending article.
I don’t know, it just seems like kitten poop smells worse than big cat poop. Well, except for maybe Gypsy. THAT cat can produce a nasty stench. Although not as bad as this little one.
(And don’t get me started on how Gypsy and Piper Grace hold their water all day and then go and pee out the Mighty Mississippi. Damn, what the hell? THAT stinks too!)
Yes; I thought to mention these as one of the rare instances. I had been “flirting” with the OP in another thread; the winky smilies were a reference to that.
I’m with you on the kitten poop smell. I’ve had five of my own and have been raising foster kittens this spring & summer-fifteen so far. I’m surprised my house is still habitable.
I’ve not tried the yogurt thing, might give that a go. However all my cats eventually grew out of the problem (and gassiness too). About the dry food, don’t worry too much. Young ones tastes change as they grow and what they won’t eat one week they may very well gobble down like ambrosia next week. Keep trying every now and then. And while it’s probably true that most cats will eventually eat when hungry enough not all of them will. I had a tabby that refused to eat his dry food all of the sudden. I just ignored him figuring he’d eat eventually. It wasn’t until I noticed he’d lost weight that I realized he wasn’t eating anything (I had another cat at the time). I started switching brands until I found one he liked and no more trouble. I later read in the Merck Veterinary Manual that some cats will actually starve to death rather than eat something they don’t like. Very stubborn animals!
