My 7-year-old cat has smelly poop. Is she senior or is it food?

Question

What age is considered senior? I have one cat that is 7 years old and two that are 5 years old. Two of my fur babies are overweight and one is slightly overweight. My fur babies now have very, very smelly poop, which is recent, just within the last two weeks...could this be food related?

I usually consider senior cats to be anywhere over the age of 6-7. So yours are getting close but luckily cats can live a long time! The smelly poop can be from several things including the food especially if it was recently changed, intestinal parasites, or an bacterial infection. You could try to slow transition them to their old food. I would have you vet take a look at them if it isn’t improving and check their fecals. I hope this helps!
