Soooo, have any of you had this problem? Merrie loves to eat poop, and she isn't picky about who's it is. Hers, Maters or the cats poo she finds in the grass outside. It drives me crazy, I have been battling this problem for quite a while now, and she is just now getting a little bit better. It was so bad that she would see Mater going, and she'd run over to him and wait for it to drop so she could get it before I had a chance to pick it up and dispose of it. It was like he was a little poo dispenser, and she would get seriously excited when he was going! (Poor Mater was so confused because I was giving Merrie what for, so he thought that he was in trouble everytime he pooped and he would run everytime he would start to go thinking he was doing something bad...AAAGH! But now he has it down pat, he likes to go outside, and I am good with that :) I have to watch Merrie like a hawk outside, because she will find the oldest cat poop in the dead grass, dig it out and have a feast if I don't catch her first! Ewwww! And you all know what little lickers they are, giving kisses all the time, and if they are lucky enough to catch you with your mouth open??? Oh man, it just grosses me out when she is giving me kisses and I wonder where her tongue has been last.... But like I said, it has been getting better. Beth suggested that I get those pills you feed to them that make their poop taste bad, (but doesn't it taste bad enough already???) but that won't stop her from eating the cat poo she finds elsewhere, or the poop she finds elsewhere, so I have been trying to be very vigilant in giving her heck whenever I see her going for it. I also tried putting hot sauce on it, and that only worked for the ones I could get to fast enough, I guess she could smell whether or not it had sauce on it, and if it didn't, she would help herself. So, I just keep working at catching her before she gets to it, and so far so good, wish me luck!
I am assuming that she isn't the only one that does this......???? She is such a little princess, I just never thought princesses ate poo.....
