cat pooh

[louise120166]

i have a 5 month old beautiful golden labrador who loves to eat cat pooh out of the garden. Any body know of any reasons why? xx

My dog is just the same.
Cats are specialised carnivores.Their alimentary systems are relatively short. Food is processed quickly and consequently, cat poo still contains a reasonable amount of nutrition. Dogs therefore recognise cat poo as a potential food source (as you are no doubt aware, dogs spend their entire time searching out things to eat, or at least, mine does ) . This is little consolation when he bounds in and starts lovingly slobbering over your face.....

I had a dog who was copraphagic (ate poo but that sounds sooo much better). I fed her tinned pineapple and that seems to do the trick. Apparently there's something about pineapple which has been through a digestive system which makes it very unappetising to dogs. Question is, will your cat eat pineapple?
