Hills Science Diet Gastrointestinal Biome Dry cat food... it will help A Lot 🤤 Wont be perfect but will get better & if shes NOT fixed (I assume she is but just in case) that makes poop MUCH more stinky. If she IS fixed just always make sure she doesn't start to get stinky breath, if that happens, get her kidneys checked immediately, otherwise she's probably ok. Poop's not supposed to be a bed of roses 🤪

[@Blahblah34566]

Your kitty is ADORABLE! My cats had the exact same smelly poop issue until I switched over to KatKin. Highly recommend! I can barely even smell their poop anymore. Also I use the Petkit Pura Max litter box. It was quite expensive, but it honestly is a godsend!

[@missdenisebee]

I lost my last cat in the summer of 2022, and still, STILL, I find his fur occasionally. He was a champion shedder…although now, finding the errant hair makes me smile, because it’s like a little “hello” from him up in cat heaven. Cat hair’s also kinda great, because you can always spot another cat owner out in public, especially if they’re wearing black😂 The lil orange heart on her right side also reminds me of my late kitty, he had a black heart on his right side, too. She’s gorgeous!

[@astreesantana]

One suggestion to get rid of the stinky smell is to de-worm her! My cat had the same issue, it was beyond me how bad it smelled and once she got dewormed the putrid smell stopped and she decreased her food intake as well. Hope this helps! :)

She is simply searching for her spot on your sheets. I'd suggest you get a fuzzy plush blanket and put it next to you on the bed. This will become her new sleeping spot. It will also help her relax because cats like kneading soft blankets before sleeping.

A year ago I went to a cat shelter (in Germany) to adopt a cat. They only gave them in pairs of two! They only allowed rare cases of cats that don't get along with other cats to be adopted alone. So now I'm mommy to two furry boys. It's great to watch them interact!

[@ttrshdh]

I have three cats and I agree! Watching them bond and groom each other is so heart warming 🥰

[@lily5952]

Just wanted to say that not all cats do well with another feline around. My kitty is very much an "only child". There is a stray cat that my partner and I started befriending, who is very docile and sweet. Our kitty is fine with him, they even bump noses. But when he was coming inside the house, even in a very limited space by the front door, kitty developed a stress related infection. She just doesn't like other cats in her space . Kitty actually moved away from my MIL to come live with us when MIL added another cat to the house (we share one property). Each cat is different, and I think it greatly depends on their personality and their age too. So dont feel bad for not getting a friend for your current cat, and you also have to consider that your costs do go up.

[@marc783]

I don't know you, George. I saw that video on my home page and I watched it after having a really hard traumatic evening and it made a huge difference. That's the beautiful side of the internet. Thank you ❤

[@slightlysoulfulspatula]

Excellent review! For the stinky poops, if you have a vet that does allergy testing for cats, it might help. One of our cats had the stinkiest poops I ever had the displeasure of encountering. We found that she was allergic to beef and flax (a common food additive for the Omega fatty acids they need). After a LOT of ingredient reading, I found a couple foods that don't contain either and her poops no longer stink us out of the house. Pro tip: if animal products don't specify WHICH animal, (like "liver" instead of "chicken liver") treat it as the allergen and avoid it. I hope you can find a way to de-weaponize Junior's poo!

[@AngelavengerL]

this is really great advice!

A lot of people stuff their pets with treats and supplements as well, and those can also be the culprit.

[@kristinenowak4596]

Feeding a high quality cat food will also massively decrease litter box smells and the size of stool btw. The better the food, the better their skin and coat is too. Less shedding, less dander, and less fur balls as well. :)

[@katherinetonks]

I also have a LR4 and it’s great (which it should be for the sacks of cash). I previously had the Petkit version which I also liked but upgraded to the LR4 and am pleased I did. I use it with Everclean Unscented Strong Clumping litter and no smells. Even emptying the bin full of 💩 doesn’t smell as gross as you’d imagine.

[@maryseman7019]

She is also making a sleep nest.

[@HLBear]

To help the poop smell: first is always ask your vet. They will want a fecal sample to check for parasites. Since she was gassy as a baby, it may be a congenital issue in her intestines or liver. Possibly adding a little fiber to her wet food will help. (Wet food is best!) Look for 10% protein or close to it, and maybe a novel protein (deer or duck?). Possibly prebiotics, but check with your vet - sometimes they add gas if you give too much, too quickly. Trying different food is good, but give each a few weeks to really test it out. Otherwise, cover it quick, scoop after a few minutes, and hope she grows out of it. 😊

[@zaainaarshad5871]

The heart in her fur on the side is so precious

[@karenpeters2478]

When she's scratching like that she's marking you and your bed as hers. Cats have scent pads in their cheeks and paws that they use to rub against and label as theirs :) Kneading on the other hand is super happy taken back to kittenhood happiness and shows her love.

@@Herr_Jehmineh yeaaahhh was about to say that - our cats only do that to cover a nugget/wet spot of their making. Hope the comforter is washable.

[@gedison5551]

Or ... to cover up food that hasn't been finished. One of my cats has a feral streak*, and constantly scrapes on the counter or floor where she eats to cover what's left in her bowl (and in her step-siblings' bowls, as well). She sometimes manages to pull a piece of paper, or a poorly placed (by me) kitchen towel over her bowl. *Solitary wild cats do this to cover whatever they haven't eaten of their prey, so it's hidden, and they can return later to dine more. (I live next to the mountains in Colorado, and have come across partially covered fairly fresh carcasses, and you know that mountain lion is planning to return, so you don't want to hang around....)

[@gedison5551]

If Junior has never used your bed as a litter box, and hasn't left partially eaten food there to return to later, then maybe this is a phantom habit ... like she thinks -- or feels -- there's a litter box or food she's deposited there, even though there isn't. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@avonloma5819]

I love that she has a heart on her side! She's just "making her bed" when she scratches at the bedcovers.

[@himbosuplex]

The pawing is for two reasons: The first reason is to scent mark her spot because she likes the spot and wants it to smell like her. The second reason is just to make the spot comfy before laying down! Kind of like dogs that stamp their feet, spin in a few circles, and then lay down on their pillow.

[@___Laura]

Or, like my late kitty, the reason is to wake me up so I can give him pets and (better) food.

[@holographictheory1501]

I had luck setting up a cozy spot for my cat before she joined me in bed! Her favorite fuzzy, soft blanket works, but if your cat has a cat bed she likes, try putting that next to you in bed!

[@leahswan3178]

It's also because they like to sharpen their claws

[@NarutoOrganisation13]

​@@leahswan3178Claw cleaning behavior looks very different from digging behavior though. They tend to prefer harder surfaces for claw cleaning as well, such as cardboard, wood, or rope scratching posts. They need a harder surface in order to help them strip off the outer dull layer of their claws to reveal the sharper new layer underneath.

Cat fur is a badge of honor. I grew up with cats, and there is a reason they aren't afraid of heights. They can fall remarkable distances onto uneven surfaces and come out unscathed. Junior is beautiful. Thanks for sharing! ❤️ Also: love your accent

[@tolkienfan1972]

Actually, one more thing: cats adore being high up. I think it's so they can look down on us. :-) So even if you move into a single level home, be sure to get her something she can climb up!

[@WhittaII]

@@tolkienfan1972 though I agree with you mostly, my grey boy got so comfortable on railings that he'd fall asleep on them. He doesn't do it so often anymore and I can only assume that's because he had a bad fall at one point! So they are super skillful when it comes to landing but not so much finding the right place to doze off.

[@HannaBenana]

While cats are designed to survive heights it's not infallible! We got a kitten when I was a child that ran right through our stair railing and fell to the bottom. She broke her paw, even though she landed on carpet. I would always advise safety, especially when they're young.

[@thisgirl5933]

Hi Tolkien Fan! I am one as well 😊

[@limiv5272]

The thing about cats and heights, is that they know how to turn mid-air in order to land safely. That means that it's short falls, like from that railing in this video, that are more dangerous for them because they might not have enough time in the air to make that turn.

[@sanda888]

@@melinoess Thanks

[@kmokatz]

It is not respectful to make a cat get used to "poking and prodding". Making them deliberately uncomfortable or annoyed does not earn trust and respect from them either. We shouldn't be doing that to them anyway if they do not enjoy it. If we conditioned humans this way, it would be considered abuse of a baby.

[@kmokatz]

@@melinoess I'm a lifelong cat owner and currently have a kitten, not that it's any of your business to know. But since you decided to make assumptions, I will correct you. You and I just have very different views of the world and life. I despise conventional medicine, including conventional veterinary medicine. I avoid the vet like a plague and focus instead on preventative measures and holistic practices. If my animals need to have something done, then fine, just do it. They will get over it. No need to torture them for a random moment they may or may not encounter in life. But to normalize the disgusting vet ritual, most of which is not only unnecessary, but actually harmful to the pet, is not okay and should not be advised to new cat owners. A cat raised and socialized properly with respect and trust is a cat that can deal with anything and have the confidence and resiliency to overcome any short lived inconveniences in their lives. I use desensitization for many types of training and aspects of a cat's life, but not when it comes to their physical body and space. They need to be respected.

[@pushingdaisies954]

See, this is how it should be done - adopting, NOT BUYING..

[@theresapittman205]

I appreciate that you mentioned her work ethic. That’s really the clincher for me.

[@KingJerbear]

I think the pawing action is because the soft squishy covers remind her of dirt, so it's instinctual for her to try and dig. Cats will often knead blankets too before they go to lay down, but that is a different motion. The only thing I'll say about her poo is that you might want a different litter? Unless our cats do not have enough litter in their box they always cover it up fully when they are done. We need the Arm&Hammer clumping litter so I can clean their box every day or two and just scoop it into a Litter Genie, so it's sealed up and ready to go in the trash. There was a point where they caught worms from the mice they were hunting in our old house, where they both had diarrhea, but some meds from the vet fixed that quickly.

I got the litter robot 4 and it's insane the difference it makes. Once the tray filles up about 70% you start to get some smell, but up until then you don't. Plus as long as you keep the area in front of the litter box clean too. I work from my office at home (where his litter box is) and was using the normal scoop litter box before this and my cat took such a foul poop that I went online and bought it in that same moment. I would buy the litter robot 10 times over in lieu of scooping, how much litter it saves, and the lack of smell

[@fishflash1]

I have two cats sharing an open litter box. I have a Honeywell HEPA/carbon air cleaner running 24 hrs next to it. It draws all smell and dust. My apartment now has normal dusting needs and zero smell. It also draws a lot of loose fur into the pre filter which vacuums easily. She is a great companion and friend.

[@mira-sturdivant]

this video and this comment has aaaalmost convinced me to get another cat... despite my allergies and super sensitivity to litter boxes.

[@fishflash1]

I'd consult an allergist to see if medication would help you. Most people are allergic to cat's saliva on their coat. Dander is next on list. I have a Honeywell HEPA filter and it's amazing how much it reduced litter box issues. @@mira-sturdivant

[@exwhyz33]

link/product name of the HEPA filter would be helpful

[@fishflash1]

There are three HEPA filters and one carbon pre filter that can be vacuumed clean. Don't wet them. I replace the pre filter every three months as it gradually loses the ability to absorb odors. The HEPA filters last me two years as I take them out side and tap them clean. Your mileage may vary.

[@iLoveTheseRemoras]

You need an active carbon filter for the smell, HEPA filters alone won't do anything to smells, they're for small particles like dust.

Cats kneed. That's what it's called when they do the paw thing on the bed. She's getting it ready to sleep on. They do it, historically, to the ground that they'll sleep on inside to make it soft for them.

[@susanr5546]

About six months ago, I adopted the craziest kitten I have ever had. He was going after my toes and my ankles whenever I would get in bed and his claws are sharp! He also requires one hour sessions of play twice a day. If I don't play with him, he starts climbing the walls, literally! But he's a sweetie, too. Your sweet little one is a delight!

[@BAMtastico]

Sounds like my Woody. Whenever I'm in bed he considers me a life size fair prey.

[@gemstonesparkle7915]

[@Celisar1]

Too much energy. Let him outside if possible.

[@lanycera]

@susanr5546. If you can, let him outside (if you feel uncomfy doing so, do leash / harness training or build an enclosure). Or / and adopt a playmate. Some cats are simply too energetic (like on of ours) and was only happy after letting her out during the day to expend her energy. We need to be realistic here: cats are cats, and often need more stimulation than dogs but us humans lock them in tiny apartments, alone, with too little stimulation for their brains - meanwhile we walk dogs multiple times a day. Food for thought!

For her fur, get "The Furminator." It's an amazing brush/comb combo that gets the undercoat. Cats love it too. The battery operated self cleaning catboxes are great, but have the Vet do a specific poop panel and parasite treatment. Junior is awesome! She'll love having a friend from a shelter! Never buy a cat! ❤❤❤

I adopted two sisters when they were about 3 years old and their owner had to go into a nursing home. I don't know what I would do without them. I love them to pieces and the two together can really stir up some trouble, but I love every second with them. My husband recently passed away and I don't know how I would have coped if I didn't have my two little furry friends. Definitely get Junior a little brother or sister. And I agree with one of the comments. She needs her own channel. Take good care.

[@erincossar809]

She is magnificent! RE: her scratching at your blankets, two of our cats are very particular about the texture of which blanket is on top. We have a knit blanket that one of our cats argues and fights with and tries to pull off us, and if we bring a blanket they love from the couch, the other cat will literally pull it off the bed. You could try putting a cat bed or a small fluffy blanket on or near your bed to see if she likes that.

[@jeanetteshawredden5643]

[@Amoreena51]

Off hand, I’d say her bed-scratching habit you find annoying is a throw-back to her wild ancestors. No doubt she’s pawing the “ground” to scratch up a comfy bed of grass, etc on which to lay. She’s a gorgeous feline and a perfect compliment to your fabulous home. Hats off to your amazing remodel. 🥰. I’m so happy you have a sweet companion now….i volunteer at a local animal shelter, taking care of the kittens. Animals do bring us such simple, pure pleasures….don’t they?

Make sure to read up on how to introduce cats together when you get a new kitten. I had a hard time but what worked for us was feeding them together so they associate something positive with the other cat

For smell, de-worm her, even if you’ve done it before. My kitten was dewormed at the shelter I adopted him from, but sometimes the eggs can linger in their systems and hatch much later. At 6 months old, I dewormed him again and it was a game changer. Diarrhea stopped. His fur grew more luxurious. And he gained weight! If not, I’d continue experimenting with even more foods (I know you said you’ve already tried a bunch). My other cat had foul smelling poops, and I finally found a wet food that agrees with his stomach. Rawz chicken and chicken liver paté.

I’d strongly recommend the “Furminator” cat hair brush. Really helps minimising shedding and fur balls!

[@wena.2013]

Furminators aren't bad but they can lead to bald patches and damage the coat if you use them too much/often

[@Kittypaws90]

I use furminator with my Siberian husky cuz no other type of brush can pull his cotton fluffs. And I don’t see any reason to use furminator on my other dog or my cats. It definitely works good but their fur isn’t as thick as my huskies fur so I can use almost any brush for them.

[@LexFerraro]

Eight animal house here! Works well for all. All types of cats and A golden retriever & GSD, i use it on all but for specific reason and not as their sole brush! it’s wonderful when appropriate! 😊

[@dicksonfranssen]

We have a Persian that was a failed show cat someone just abandoned. He doesn't shed but loves the car and adores our groomer. Sam is a little porker so when he starts to look like a sheep off he goes and is always very proud of himself when he comes home. He does NOT get the "lion cut", I wish the groomer would stop asking.

My cats' poops used to smell really bad but now don't smell like much since I've added Instincts freeze dried digestive pellets! The smell improved after 2-3 days of adding that to their kibble and if I add fortiflora probiotics on top of the pellets and kibble then theirs poops actually don't smell! This combo is amazing 😁

[@Lisa-pq2ev]

Fotiflora is a good suggestion. Its like probiotics yogurt for cats.

[@arlene5990]

George, re Junior's smelly poops, have you had her poop tested by a vet? Sometimes those tests can pick up a gastric bug, food intolerance ie milk (water only is best for cats) or some kind of a deficiency. Just might be worth getting it checked. She is a beautiful cat by the way and you take such good care of her. It would help to put your mind at rest

Love the video and Ginger! I have seven cats myself and my two biggest life-savers are the Litter-Robot 4 and the Roborock s7 Ultra. The LR4 does a phenomenal job of keeping smell down and it uses standard clumping litter (I use arm&hammer) and you can use standard trash bags so taking care of poo is as easy as taking out the trash, also fairly low maintenance overall. The Roborock s7 Ultra does an amazing job of keeping the floors clean of fur, dander, litter, food, and whatever else they kick around. The autowash and empty feature (it both mops and vacuums) is super swell because the water just needs to be changed out every few days and the dust bin needs to be changed every other month or so. 8/8 would recommend!
