Manx Cat Feces?

Our 2 Manx cats have never had a solid feces. Do they need to have special food? Have tried special dry food but does not make a difference.

There can be many reasons for non-solid feces in cats, including: cheap food, parasites, abnormal digestive tract diseases, etc. The best thing to do is have the cats seen by a vet. They will likely want a fecal sample to look for parasites first thing. Then maybe blood work will be done, along with a complete exam. If needed, the vet might want to do an ultrasound or x-rays of the abdomen and digestive tract, to look for any abnormalities. With a good physical exam, test results and health histories of the cats, the vet should be able to make suggestions on how to straighten things out. AND, there is always the possibility that soft stools are normal for your cats, depending on their diet and eating habits. But the best advice will come from your vet.

When I was a child, we had a Manx cat that had a few litters of kittens. There were a couple over the years that had problems like this. One poor fellow had poop stuck to his butt all the time. It sounds like it is a common problem due to the breed.

I found this article on ThriftyFun that seems to go over this issue and has some suggestions. I would also talk directly to your vet as they may have some treatment options too.

Good luck! Hopefully, someone else has some good advice too.
