In the main, yes. I'm not sure about the Smilla and shall order some today along with other pate foods from your list. A supplement is also a good idea. Thank you. The Hills gets completely ignored and so am I for offering it to him. Needless to say the highly expensive Lily's is going down very well and the poop so far is solid. Typical.

I am aware of growing frustration with me on this forum, BUT my own vet doesn't seem in the slightest concerned about soft poops at all, as if it's quite normal for some cats. Maybe this is my cat's normal. He said I only needed to go back if the poops are permanently runny as in diarrhoea, which isn't the case at all. Nevertheless, I have spoken on the phone with him three times now and the answer is the same. In fact, after the last call, I almost felt like I was being a nuisance and paranoid. I spoke to another vet in a different practice when he had his check up for castration and got much the same response. So maybe I am being paranoid after all. Please note, I have repeatedly asked for tests to no avail. What I don't need is to be yelled at here as if I haven't.

I dont see anyone yelling at you redarding stool tests,what I do see is a lot of experienced people giving you the same advice,get the tests done to rule this out.No amount of diet changes ,supplements or whatever is going to make a difference if there is a parasitic or bacterial problem.You pay the vet bill you ask for tests ,I can see no reason for a vet to refuse.

Who's yelling? I just merely pointed out the consistent advice throughout the entire thread and I see others have recently reiterated this advice. No yelling

If I were repeatedly asking for tests from my vet and he/she refused, then I would go elsewhere. Simple
