smelly cat, smelly cat

[moonwise]

Today I made an appointment with the vet to address Biscuit's fart problem. The receptionist was trying desperately to maintain a professional demeanor, but she was laughing when she said she'd put down that Miss Biscuit was "gassy." It really has gotten to be too much - she sits with us in the evening, and when we run away and fan the air, she gives us a look like, "What? What did I do?"

Hmm. We are feeding her a high-quality kitten food (Science Diet) but she does get treats like ham and turkey and those Greenies kibbles. Might it be the lunch meat?

First thing I'd cut out would be the lunch meat, and the Greenies just in case. Give her a week on only the SD and water. If that works, then reintroduce the Greenies and see what happens. If it doesn't, the SD doesn't suit that particular kitten and switch (gradually over about a week rather than cold turkey) to another good brand.

If that doesn't work, time to investigate the genuine food allergies.

She's going to be one sad little girl when she doesn't get her morning Turkey Time, but I'd rather not have a stinky cat. It's probably not the Greenies; she was pooty from Day One.

ETA: Husband and I both thank you for the professional advice!

Well, I hope it works, so you don't have to take it any further in the investigations route. Hey, it's only what you'd be told if you called the practice and spoke to one of the techs ;-)
