Following our previous discussion about the shape and consistency of cat poop, there’s another crucial indicator that cat owners should pay attention to — the color of the poop.
The color of your cat’s poop can reflect their health status. Here are a few common situations:
Dark Black Poop
If your cat’s poop is completely dark black inside and out, it may be caused by bleeding in the small intestine.
Take your cat to the vet immediately! This is usually an urgent situation that requires prompt attention.
Poop with Fresh Blood or Mucus
When you notice bright red blood streaks or mucus in your cat’s poop, it could indicate bleeding in the large intestine.
While this is generally less serious and urgent compared to black poop, it’s still important to arrange a vet visit as soon as possible to ensure your cat’s safety!
Yellow or Green Poop
If your cat’s poop is yellow or green, it may suggest underlying health issues, such as problems with their gallbladder, liver, or gastrointestinal function.
It’s recommended to take your cat for a more thorough health check to identify any potential problems early on.
What does normal, healthy poop look like?
It should be dark brown to chocolate-colored with the following characteristics:
Even color: No abnormal blood streaks, mucus, or spots.
When scooping your cat’s litter, remember to check the poop’s shape and color — these are important indicators of their health!
