What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the
homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of
totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?

Try another food of known high quality. Brand name doesn't necessarily
mean the food will agree with your cat.

Make the switch gradually and use only ONE type of food so that their
tummies don't get too upset.

They should also be checked for worms.

Take them to the vet to be checked for parasites and/or worms

they're indoor cats only, do they need then to be tested for parasites
and worms? and thanks much for your relpies, this such a good group

I think in your other posts you said the cats recently came from the SPCA?
So even though you are keeping them indoors you don't know what they could
have picked up before you got them. I do think it's worth getting them
checked for parasites.

Yes, they still need to be tested. Most cats get worms from the mother cat.

I recently adopted a kitten from a rescue group. He was wormed by them at 8
weeks old, but I still had him tested at 12 weeks. Sometimes cats need to be
wormed more than once.

I can add that last year I was adopted by a purebred kitten, a 15 week
old Somali. He was perfectly healthy, no parasites, all the shots,
from a very loving and respected breeder (not a kitten mill) and had
not even had the problem with overbloom (the change from the Mother's
parasites to his own that many kittens are troubled with.) Three weeks
after he came here he came down with smelly farts and poops. Turns
out he had caught Giardiasis from Lady, my black cat, whom I'd had 10
years and had shown NO SYMPTOMS of colonitis. So both cats benefited
from the treatment with Fenbendazole. How did Lady herself get
Giardiasis? probably from a previous, deceased, cat, who had himself
had some form of bowel disease, never fully identified. The mode of
infection for parasites is usually through a shared litter pan. And
yes Giardidasis is the same in cats and Humans and if one is very
careless there can be cross-infection.

As a rule no cat food will cause smelly do-dos in a healthy cat except
maybe for a couple of days after a radical change in diet.
