Pretty self explanatory. Post animals, post pets, post stuff about animals and pets!

This is pickles, she is made of love and terrible, awful poops. She has a bent tail and loves to stare at us from dark corners of the house!

My cat also had terrible poops but we changed his food and it's much more tolerable now. If you use low-cost brands that may be why ;)

She's gotten better since we first got her. The cheap cat food definitely wasn't great for her in the beginning! It took upgrading her food and a course of antibiotics and then probiotics to get her to being ok. I'm currently switching her to a better grain free food now. Are there any brands you recommend specifically?

Our vet recommended Purina Pro Plan and it's been going great. It's also available next day on Amazon here, so that's been a plus.

I think my parents switched their cats over to that as well. I will definitely look into it, thank you!

Back in the day I adopted an elderly Siamese cat that was shaped like a basketball. She earned the nickname "pootie butt"!

cat looks like my cat when he's hungry, cute little guy

Black cats seem to always be quirky like that. She always looks like this, unless she's dead asleep hogging the bed.

Good luck with the awful poops! My kitty had Giardia for six freaking months before she finally beat it.
