Question
Hello My Kitten Katie May Be Eating Her Poop. Me Nor My Mother Have Personaly Seen Her Gone To The Bathroom. This Is Very Worry Some To Us Because She Has A Clef Pallet.
We Always Clean It (Clef Pallet) Water After She Eats Due To The Fact Our Vet Told Us She Could Get An Infection If Something Gets Stuck. She Is Not Old Enough For A Surgery. But Do Cats Really Eat There Own Poop? Ive Heard Of Dogs Doing That. But Im Not So Sure.

Answer
Hi Rachael,

Sorry, I couldn't get back to you sooner, my Internet went down. I haven't heard of a cat eating her pooh. If you haven't seen anything in the litter box I would get her checked by the vet. She may be constipated or have a blockage. Good luck.

Ciao, Karen
