Absolutely a case for the vet, the kitten cannot help doing this.

Our darling Foxy is now at Rainbow Bridge. R.I.P. little one, you'll always be loved.

i don't mean to be rude, but why was it left for 4 weeks? Surely the kitten should have been taken to the vets after a day or so?

Hope the kitten is ok, let us know the outcome?

Sorry, was more like two weeks.. I got a bit ahead of myself there. Took the kitten to the vet, though they could not find anything viral. For several days it was having normal discharge of its light brown, stinky clumpy poos. Now today its back to runny, fart like poos that run like a lahar down a mountain side. The kitten does seem to be very playful, chasing toys as it should be and is now cleaning itself most of the time. There is still the odd occasion where we have to wash it because its running around with poop all over its butt,tail and leg.

Im not sure if this helps but the cat is half siamese, are they dirty by nature or is it just this kitty

We really want this sorted as its so nice to snuggle between us in bed.333333333333333333366666666666666662l;;;;;;;;; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; <----- kitten was "typing"

I have had a similar thing with a previous cat but that was sorted after about a week and then it was fine. And ive also found that cleaning its litter box after EVERY poo makes it constantly use its box, except for today when it pooed under the kids bed :S

Thanks guys, any help would be great

What are you feeding? Did the vet examine the muscles around it's anus to see if they were working properly?

I would try giving the kitten an incredibly bland diet of cooked chicken for at least a few days. This has always helped us to clear up cases or the runs. And then very slowly reintroduce other food. It could be he has an allergy to what you are feeding.

No Siamese aer absolutely not 'dirty by nature' , where an earth would you get that idea.
The fact remains that a kitten or cat that cannot control faeces that are literally streaming away from it is not naughty, it has a health problem and needs proper treatment.
TF will not usually be picked up in ordinary samples sent away to the lab it needs a specific test, or a swab placed immediately under a microscope by the vet as soon as it's taken from the cat.
Giardia, I think can be detected in a lab sample, and you will only know if it is viral if it is actually tested, you can't know by just looking at the cat.

[QUOTE=nz_mittens;600012]Hi,

we recently got this kitten and for the last 4 weeks it has been pooing on absolutely everything. It knows how to use its litter box but its poop just seems to leak out everywhere and is constantly running down its tail and leg. It leaves crap trails over us, our clothes, the couches, beds, inside anything it gets into and all over the carpet. We have tried putting it near the poop when we catch him afterwards as we can smell it within 2 minutes of him doing his smelly runny poop. We "scold" him in a semi-abrupt voice and make him know that its naughty then place him on the litter box and when we see it doing its business on the box we make it feel good and pat it etc. We have wormed him the second time around and have been keeping him on a diet of water and dry food. We thought that the wet cat food and kitten milk might be making his crap runny but this has had no effect. When we got the kitten we were told that he had been de-flead, wormed and was toilet trained. Only to find out he was infested with both worms and fleas and thinks pooing on our stuff and making the house smell of his poop as normal.

Please help us!

Is our kitten dieing? Sick? We have a baby due in two months and need this sorted now as my partner cannot go near the poop with all that yukky bacteria.[/QUOT
This is a windup thread.like the other 2,i wouldnt lose to much sleep over it!
