How many times a day does a cat poop?

Generally, a cat defecates 2–3 times a day. The frequency depends on how much and what the cat eats; on days with a larger intake, the number of bowel movements rises accordingly.

Normally a cat’s stool should be moderately soft or firm, tubular, and brownish-yellow. If the shape is normal there is no need to worry. But if the frequency increases and you see soft or watery stools, the cat likely has a digestive problem and can be given pet probiotics to regulate the gut. If diarrhea persists, take it to the vet to find the cause and treat it specifically.
