Urgh
The cats are back from the cattery and farting copiously, which is no doubt a result of what they were fed while on holiday. I'm used to low class mogs who eat what they are given, albeit grudgingly at times, with no ill effects. This bunch of prima donnas however have incredibly sensitive digestive systems which have necessitated charts to track what food causes what effect. There are three main problems: farting, the sort of constipation that requires a chisel to scrape the crap out and which produces scooting and wavy poo lines all over the kitchen floor and thirdly really dirty bottoms, something I've never seen on a cat before, and you wouldn't believe the number of cat bottoms I've seen, I could tell you a few things about cat bottoms...
Sorry.
Sadly, I have not yet found a single brand of food that meets all three criteria. The thing I just can't stand is the farting. Who would think such a small bundle of fluff could produce a gas cloud of such intensity, volume and noxiousness? So we're switching between Royal Canin Siamese variant (fart free but a little constipating), Royal Canin prescription only sensitive (very constipating but good for cleanliness) and Iams which fails the cleanliness test. Purina Proplan is by far and away the worst for farting and dirt and unfortunately that's what the cattery puts in their mix. It's going to be a long couple of days till we all settle down.

I had to apologize to the vet on behalf of my pussycat for her dirty bottom, the other day, since I value my life and cannot even look at her bottom in order to assess the damage. The vet grabbed her and she now has a very bare but very clean bottom. The hairs will grow back eventually, of course.
Patsy has always had to be on special food. It used to be Feline CD. Now she has ulcerative colitis (she's on cortisone for it) and eats only Royal Canin Sensitive Control food in those expensive tiny sachets. They altered the formulation recently: they reduced the chicken by 5 per cent and increased the fat. I don't dare add up the amount of money I spend on her food per year. Clever, eh?
