First of all Kitten is an absolute CUTIE! I'll say first that kitten poop is worse than adult cat poop by far. Oscar used to lay eggs that would make your eyes water and it would LINGER! I was convinced I was going to have to buy stock in Oust to survive. MOL Luckily, we've pretty much outgrown that. Oscar has a closed litter box since we have dogs and that helps. I also changed litter to Tidy Cats Multiple even though Oscar's an only cat AND I sprinkle his litter with Arm & Hammer Cat Box odor powder (not sure of the exact name) and it works much better. I've also found that the "indoor" cat formula food helps with our stinkage issues. I scoop out Oscar's box once and day every day religiously, and I periodically scrub it out with hot soapy water and completely change the litter.

First, a trip to the vet to rule out worms or any other digestive orders would be a good idea. Next, consider switching foods. Poe and Chaucer both eat Nutro Complete Care because of the fact it controls litter box odor (guaranteed on the bag). I didn't believe it myself until I tried it! Not to mention they don't eat as much of it because it is full of good stuff, not fillers. Another thing I found is that clumping litter works better. We use the Tidy Cats Immediate Odor Control and sprinkle Baking Soda on top of it. I would be cautious about using air fresheners that spray near the litter box since you never know where your kitten will be at that moment. However, a solid gel freshener, like Citrus Magic, might give the odor control a boost, too. Also, make sure she isn't getting too many treats and getting an upset tummy. Consider getting her some pet grass to graze on, too. Good Luck!

Vader and Ninja both have horrible poop!! I bought the Freshmatic Lysol Nutrair. It's on a timer so you can set it to go every 9-15-36 minutes. I really works!!

1) Has she been tested for worms? 2) You might consider switching her to another cat food. Ours really like Artemis and Instinct (Artemis is the less expensive of the two) but I have noticed that their poo is a little stinkier when they get the Instinct alone.

Cat poop does have a smell, but yours sounds like it's beyond description! I would take the kitten to the vet and explain the problem. He/she may want you to bring in a stool sample to test for parasites or a bacterial infection. More than likely this is not what you're feeding but it's some parasites that your kitten picked up in her life outdoors. A simple antibiotic should treat it and then she won't be Miss Stinky anymore.

Poo DOES stink, ;-) but it may be that your kitty has a bacterial problem in her intestines. If she doesn't have loose stool then everything is probably OK inside, but I would take a sample to your vets just to make SURE she didn't ingest something outside that is giving her an ongoing problem. I also would ask for their advice about switching food. Make certain that Kitten isn't getting into something (like plants) in your home that you don't know about. You can also get a more highly deodorant litter. I use Scoop-Away for multiple cats (I have 3) and even hubby, who is not a big cat fan, says our house doesn't smell like cats at all. I also dump the litter once a week, scrub the boxes with Pine-Sol (rinse well) and replace the litter. If she'll use it, you can try a covered box, but not all cats like the cover and she may stop using the box like my Shizzie did. Remember, if you DO change food, don't do it all of the sudden. Add a little of the new food in at a time.
