Hello everyone!
My husband and I just adopted a gorgeous Siamese blue point 7 month old kitten named Leo on Saturday. He is adjusting to the house very well, eating all his food, drinking water, being extremely active, and knows how to use the litter box just fine. When he first went the bathroom he peed and it smelled awful. You could literally smell it while going up the stairs to our bedroom. It didn’t smell like anything in particular, just very strong cat urine. We had a cat before (she passed away a few weeks ago, sadly) and her pee never smelled. The only time we smelled it was when we cleaned her litter box. Also, we got our kitten an entirely new litter box so he wouldn’t smell the cat we used to have.
Last night he pooped for the first time and it smelled even worse. When I inspected it, it looked like a healthy poop and wasn’t a weird shape, texture, or color.
I am thinking he may be just adjusting to the house and we are taking him to the vet later this week. Has anyone experienced anything similar with a new kitten? Any advice?
Thank you all 🙂
PS – we are feeding him the same food that his foster mom was feeding him, so there is no new food in his diet.
