Our cat Milly has had trouble with soft poops today so I just boiled up a chicken breast for her and shredded it. I gave her a little and to say she loved it is an understatement I thought myself it looked pretty good! But how much do I feed her? One breast over the course of a day for the three days? She's a 10 month old kitten and quite petite.

How big are the chicken breasts you are feeding?

My boys are eating a lot more than that but I think they will be big when they are older.

I certainly couldn't afford to feed chicken all the time would cost me a fortune!!

sorry I just see your other post, I just cook them till they are done lol, im not a meat cooker/eater myself so just follow the instructions lol!

you couldnt just feed chicken either, have to add alot more to it lol, but you can get a pack of 6 chicken breasts for like £5 in tesco/sainsburys, mine can eat a hole one...and still eat their regualr food (well, a bit less!)

have you started doing the chicken/turkey yet?

Yep chicken night 3. I was only going to feed it to the one with the sloppy poo but kitten 1 has gone that mad for it that they are both getting chicken. I ended up just buying some chicken breasts and cooking them in the oven with water over the top.

Kitten 2 of the dodgy poop has done one poo so far which was a bit sloppy but that was the day that he managed to get some of his brothers dried food before I could stop him (his brother is still having some normal food too as he is fine and he is a piggy). So i think when I get to tomorrow night and starting back on some of the regular food I'll just try some of his wet and see if that gets firm poos. Am wondering if it's down to the dried food and he has a sensitivity to something. I guess I won't know if I just put him back on both so maybe I'll add in the wet first and if poo is all good then see if the dried makes it soft?

He seems a lot happier in himself although he's taken to hiding under the table because I've also been giving him prokolin and he doesn't like it and has got wise to me

He has also been eating a lot more of the chicken than he does his normal dinner. He eats the RDA of his dinner normally but his bro eats quite a bit more than that. He doesn't normally come round for extra food but he has with the chicken so I think it's a win!!

depends what dry food is it?

you have to be very strict with the diet, id put both on it, or feed the other boy supervised, as actually do they use the same litter tray? do you use a cleaner? as the easiet way to spread dodgy tums/illness is the litter tray, i recomend this cleaner:

Johnson's Clean and Safe Disinfectant for Cats Trigger Spray 500ml | Pets at Home

clean tray spray over done

dont worry about any rda, go by your cat if his hungry feed him, if he isnt dont etc as long as his healthy, not all cats are the same some eat more or less than whats on a box, whats a 'average' cat anyway!

ive never found pro kolin anygood, esp for the money you pay for it, even the vet told me it was rubbish, im sure some people find it helps though.

as soon as he eats the biscuits his back to the start, the diet is to help the digestion and give the kits tum a break so id go back a day.

My raggie has done well on the diet, but I had to cut out rice. So far so good. Poops are solid at day five. Weight is increasing. Windy though. Just need to see the poop from the last few meals now, and maybe, just maybe, we are out of the woods.

I've been cleaning with a regular disinfectant and then rinsing really really well, will try buying that one though.


I was supervising and he wasn't even in the room when number 1 was having a few biscuits but I'm clearly a crap supervisor because he snuck past me and then I looked around and realised wrong ginger kitten doh!! I swear they gang up on me! The dried has been removed from reach now I've learnt from my mistakes!!

The dried is Hills Science plan kitten then they were both on Felix wet which they came to me on.

Ok will go back a day then. He'll prob love that as he loves the chicken!!

Today he seems to have pretty much stopped pooing he's just done a teeny bit which looks ok but he's still doing the most god awful smelly farts in the world bless him.

yah!! well done!

this is better as you spray it on the actual litter, so if bits of poop get left behind that you dont clean out (cant see etc) get stuck on the others foot he licks it...its easy done, i never knew how important it was until I had more cats either, its good esp if one is ill I know I am doing all the trays and we can then seperate lol!

lol dont worry Ive been there, my boy cant eat biscuits, well Ill be blowed if in front of me and the partner he was eating them we thought it was my other boy, so he had to have double his medicine, lucky we noticed after about 5bics *sigh*

personally im not a big fan of science hills as I think its plop, it also made mine have tum probs aswell, the vets kept trying to shove it on me so @I bought a bag thinking 'well if the vets....'

didnt even finish the bag and chucked it! Felix does = stinky poops anyway, mine have classic/felix/whiskas/alplaws/chicken/turkey/some other stuff off of zooplus thats high in meat but cant rem the name now!

The biccis Ive gone from which Really has helped with the poos is sanabelle kitten and sanabelle poultry / natures taste of the wild / porta 21 and porta 21 sensible.

And it works out cheaper buying in bulk, it seems more at first as alayout, but as you are buying a bigger amount it works out to something like a £1 a week (or something!) for each cat

My Hills was from the vet too. Will def look into different biccies then if that ends up being the problem.

Looks like I could feed kitten 1 anything but kitten 2 definitely has a more delicate tummy.


I did try a couple of weeks ago gradually moving them onto better quality wet but kitten 1 was fine but it seemed to upset kitten 2 straight away even with just a tiny bit so I gave that up for now.

It'll be felix til he's settled I think. He def seems happier on the chicken currently doing silly roll overs on my bedroom floor whilst playing with a knitted butterfly that he's pulled off my slipper

what breed are they? if they are fine on felix then maybe just change the biccis? have a look at zooplus.co.uk thats where most of us buy from free p&p and as its 'bulk' it does last alot longer.

vets only sell that as they are commisioned, it annoys me as its basically the same ingredients as other brands cheaper!

i found that it was the bics with my lot so was very happy with the new purchase lol!!
