First things first, let’s address the stinky elephant in the room (or should we say, the litter box): Why does your cat’s poop smell like it could knock you out? Well, there are a few factors at play here.

WHY YOUR CAT’S POOP SMELLS SO BAD

Diet Matters

Just like with humans, what goes in must come out.

Your cat’s diet plays a significant role in the odor of their feces. Foods rich in protein, such as meat or fish, can lead to stronger-smelling waste. Additionally, abrupt changes in diet can disrupt your cat’s digestive system, resulting in more pungent poop.

Gut Bacteria

Inside your cat’s intestines resides a bustling community of bacteria.

While most of these bacteria are beneficial and aid in digestion, some produce foul-smelling gases as they break down food. The composition of your cat’s gut microbiome can influence the intensity of the odor emitted from their feces.

Hydration Levels

Just like with humans, staying hydrated is essential for your cat’s overall health – including their bathroom habits.

Dehydration can lead to more concentrated urine and feces, resulting in a stronger smell. Encouraging your cat to drink plenty of water can help dilute their waste and reduce odor.

HOW TO SQUASH THE POOP SMELL

Now that we’ve uncovered the why, let’s move on to the how – how can you combat the stench and reclaim your home from the olfactory assault of your furry friend’s feces?

Here’s a few obvious answers:

1. Move your litter box to a place where the smell no longer lingers.
2. Scoop immediately to prevent the odor from spreading.
3. Teach your cat to use the toilet.
