There is some form to his poops .They are not runny but they are certainly much softer then they were when he arrived!
We have also had the prob of him stepping back into his poo and has had to be showered straight away after. He was not a happy kitty

This is happening with Simba now too. His poos were solid when we got him and now they are soft, just slightly formed and he is stepping back into it a lot.

Did this resolve it's self Dee? I feed Simba a mixture of royal canin kitten (which he was fed on with his breeder) and Applause kitten - both dry. He is also getting Felix as Good as it looks kitten wet pouches 3 x a day. I think it may be this. His breeder gave him this too but she said he didn't eat it much but now he loves it and wolfs it down. I might try giving him tuna or cooked chicken I think. Can't face the raw food but don't mind cooking it for him.

Felix kitten food is not good at all - 4% meat products and the rest is fillers and rubbish to make it up.

The kitten biscuit can also become a bit rich for them too.

I would suggest gradually changing over to an adult biscuit and changing to a better quality wet food such as almo nature or applaws. If you can cut out the biscuit altogether, that would be better as this can cause diarrhoea in cats. James Wellbeloved is quite a good dry biscuit too and this one is complete.

Sometimes it is just a case of swapping about and seeing what suits your cat best.

I would always recommend a raw diet with nothing else but I'm not going to get into that particular discussion again!
