About 6 weeks ago, I switched both cats to canned food. Poppy is overweight, and is now getting one can (5.5 oz) per day of Natural Balance Venison and Green Pea. I've also started giving her 250 mg of Carnitine. She had a UTI when she was a kitten, but she's been ok since.
Anyway, after changing their diet I noticed that the smell of her urine has changed. (I know it's hers because I can smell it on her butt; I can't tell if Sophie's changed too). It no longer has that sharp cat pee smell. I can't think how to describe it....it's not as unpleasant or strong, but it's not roses either!
She is happier and healthier since the change, so I have no reason to believe there's a problem.
I noticed the change BEFORE I started giving her carnitine, so I know that's not it.
I wasn't surprised that her stool changed color, size and odor, but I wasn't anticipating a change in the urine smell. Is this normal?
