Answer
Hi Lynda,

It would be highly unlikely that he is eating any cat feces. Cats usually don't do this. But what is more likely the case is that he has a bacterial infection and this is causing the problem. You need to get him to the vet to be checked out. It could be in his mouth; by his anus; or by his urethra. The vet will be able to find what the problem is.  Let me know what he says. Good luck.

Ciao, Karen
