Gillian McKeith would love this thread

Me too! 

Willow - dainty pellets
Kylie - Long & fat
Clapton - fat but not so long and lighter in colour (probably as he eats wet only)

Kylie has the smelliest poo

hippykitty-I may just try that as your last post described Fluffy so well. Took us donkeys years to figure out the pellet thing 

[Hippykitty]

I find that giving tuna in oil helps. Sam gets furballs. If I give her tinned fish in oil every fortnight, it helps to prevent them. Sometimes she needs furball treatment (the stuff that comes in tubes). She also does round pellet-type poos.

you can buy food that helps with cats that have furball probs. Purfect fit do a dry and wet food range for indoor cats to help with hairballs. You can get them in most supermarkets I think.

Thanks all. Willow does suffer from hairballs and not having access to the garden doesn't help. I take grass to her when she needs it   can always tell as she licks plastic when she has a furball. ie bread bags etc.

I have now added with blood on them. Of course it was in the same para as I was writing about Trudie's bowel cancer and I wrongly assumed people would think Blood too. Slapped legs

fluffy has always done small round marble style poo. She gets badly constipated too, but since she has been on lactulose she has done 'proper shaped' poo....

I was looking at Ela's site tonight and it mentioned that small poos could mean there is a problem.

Does it?  Even I can't remember that. I will do a search.

Milly suffers from hairballs and when she has one brewing her poos turn to marbles, a couple of doses of hairball paste and she passes a hairy poo  and then goes back to logs

Mark, Lexy often does the "plop plop plop" variety, and once in a blue moon I get a "log" (sorry poos have little polite to say about themselves!). But this is just what she has always done and the logs are those I get if she has missed a day here or there (which in itself freaks me out). And she's fine. Vet is happy with that.

[CurlyCatz]

No mark..as with humans you only really need to get worried if you notice a "change from the norm"  if that makes sense..if willow has always done this then likely that is "just her" however should she start passing on a regular basis very different to her norm then you should seek vet attention.
hope that helps

I was looking at Ela's site tonight and it mentioned that small poos could mean there is a problem. Willow always does small poos - well a "Mix & Match"  but a lot of tiny ones. She has always done this. Could there be a problem? She is a tiny cat, although she is 8, people think she is less than a year old.
