I give my cats 9 Lives and Special Kitty cat food but their poop always smells terrible and stinks up my whole house, could it be because of the food? It happens to all three of my cats.

It definitely can be the food. I would check a stool sample and see if they have intestinal parasites. If the stool sample from the litter box is positive I would just treat all 3 of your cats. I would gradually wean them onto another type of food. It can easily be from the food. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
