How often should a cat poop ?
Edit By:How To Pet
Q:Hi,
A few months ago I switched my cat to grain-free wellness canned food and he is enjoying it and eating regularly. But since the switch he started to poop every other day. Before the switch, when he was on dry food, he would go every day. Is this normal? My guess is that this is because he has less "waste" as there are no grain in his diet.....
Is it normal for a cat to poop every other day or should it be every day?

A:Yep that sounds pretty normal. As long as he isn't straining, and there isn't any blood or anything else out of the ordinary, every other day is fine. And you are probably right, he is getting more nutrition and less 'filler'.
A:Yup sounds normal, also depends on the amount of food the cat is eating. Higher quality food = less eaten = less waste = less poop. Just look out for the things krdahmer has mentioned.
A:I haven't noticed any other changes, other than the frequency....oh, and the monthly hit on the bank account
