A house built upon an 'open plan' is the worst when the owner does not wish to be reminded of the fact that some of his tenants are cats. Any whiff of a smell of the litter boxes and he goes into a fury. The 'Silly Room' where the Puttikins live is quite spacious but it is in the basement. Nonetheless, if some one has digestive problems, the smell will rise almost instantly to the bedrooms on the upper floor. It is an impossible situation.
Cupid in particular is having ongoing problems with his food. I did a bit of research and decided to change his diet to rice with chicken. I boiled the chicken and mixed it into rice. For the other Puttikins, I mixed rice into tinned cat food.
It has made a bit of a difference but Cupid continues to deliver very soft stools. At least it is not running through him instantly. I suspect it has something to do with the kidney disease he has. Unfortunately, when it occurs, I am treated as though it somehow is MY fault. Very nerveracking... I wonder if he needs some sort of medication at this point. He is alert and active but quite obese. It may be better if I feed him once daily for awhile but I need desperately to find a solution to the problem.
