What sort of blasphemous alchemy occurs within a cat's vile bowels?

[Orrex]

I mean, how do they ingest a handful of mild-smelling kibble and "classic pate" and extrude it as a pint of of eyeball-searing, paint-peeling, asphyxia-inducing toxic sludge?

1. Its definitely not a case of

turning lead into gold.

24. Alchemy isn't primarily about transmutation of elements

It's the process of individuation.

2. To quote the late great Carlin, "The only thing that smells worse than cat food...

... is cat food that's been through a cat's digestive tract."

[Lydia Leftcoast]

3. My vet said that if a cat stinks up the whole apartment

(as mine has on occasion), it's a sign that his food doesn't agree with him.

5. My puppy considers cat poo a gourmet treat!

Dog shit is 100x worse!

18. We had a bunch of dogs when I was growing up, and I have to say

that the very worst of their offerings, at the height of their very worst digestive maladies, don't compare even to a healthy cat's standard output.

6. LOL.

You have obviously never had to deal with a feline case of "tinsel butt". NOw thats some fun !!!

[EndersDame]

8. or in my sweet departed Grady's cas semi digested lizard butt

I miss him :(

7. mild smelling kibble?

ever get it wet?

:puke:

[Orrex]

20. No, I usually take mine straight.

9. I started feeding my cats premium kibble and the poop is less toxic

I lost a cat to diabetes so I switched the other two to grain free food .The ingredients are alot better

10. What a coincidence! Ginger says cats ask the same thing about OUR bowel movements, and

that's why they eat grass to induce vomiting.

[Orrex]

17. At least we humans generally have the decency to flush ours out of the house

And immediately after the act, we don't walk all over the cats and shove our posteriors into their faces.

[TrogL]

23. I thought you were supposed to

[grasswire]

11. in my experience, straight meat is even worse when it comes out

When I feed my cats minced chicken or fish from our dinner leftovers, the smell of the poo is outrageous. Words fail me.

So I don't think it's bad cat food. Maybe it's a lack of fiber.

14. My cats are too cool to fart.. My puppy on the other hand...

Do you happen to know if there is a canine version out there?

[AsahinaKimi]

15. My cat loves seafood..

I get him kibble and the canned food. Mostly he will only eat shirmp, salmon, tuna or whatever other kinds of seafood in the can. I have his cat box in the bath room. I even have gotten the smell absorbing litter, but it doesn't help. I know EXACTLY when he has gone.. it reeks beyond belief!

[rcrush]

16. The same kind thats going through my bowels right now...

Damn stomach bug from hell :puke:

[Orrex]

22. You should lay off the "Savory Supper" and "Seafood Surprise" for a few days

[TZ]

19. You think wet food doesn't smell bad going in?

My cat decided to come over and sniff my face affectionately right after eating the other day..Ugh. Cat food breath...

[Orrex]

21. It's a matter of proportion.

And if I had to strap to my nose either an open can of cat food or an open can of cat shit, I know how I'd choose.
