Sorry this seems trivial when some, like Gill, are worried sick about their furries
But I so want to know if anyone else has discovered this.
Now Mosi can pong the place out with a single, deadly bullet. It's not a huge problem - it only smells when it hits the litter but the litter soon deals with it and if I'm home I scoop promptly and the smell soon diminishes once it's safely tucked away in a fragrant nappy sack
But when first fired, them bullets spread their pong throughout the flat.
Now Mosi has been on a grain free diet for most of his life. Although when I say grain free he did used to steal bits of Jaffa's food until last June. Since then he's has grain free wet food (although very occasionally a food containing rice) with a little Applaws dry (grain free). The only junk food has been dreamies.
What I'm building up to is that over the past week or so I've not really been aware of any poo pong. I assumed he was just going when I was out and by the time I got home the litter had worked its magic and dealt with the smell (he does cover everything). But I still thought it a bit odd that I hadn't been aware of any pong. I knew he was using the tray as I was scooping out poo. Then this morning he dropped one right beside me! I was in the bathroom just out of the shower and his litter tray is in there. It's not a big bathroom so no escaping any pong. But there was no smell. As I walked past his tray (so literally about 12 inches from the tray) I was aware of the faintest of smells. I went back into the bathroom a few mins later and a very faint smell lingered but hardly anything at all. Only a fraction of what I'd normally smell from another room.
The only real difference in his diet is that over the past week I've stopped his dreamies. He's been having Cosma snackies instead (freeze dried chicken). Could such a tiny change in diet be responsible for the poo lack of smell? The only other difference is a slight change in the brands of food with more of some new stuff (that he has had before) and a bit less of his regular Miamor pate (but still having that several times a week). I can't believe replacing 4 dreamies with something grain free can have such an impact (although I suppose that is a bit like me having a chocolate bar each day!).
If this continues there will be no more dreamies!! well ok, on Christmas and birthdays
