My cat Jasper is eating twigs and blood in stool

[Karen]

I'm afraid it's not a dietary thing, but a behavioral one. And there's no way to keep him from doing it other than limiting his outside time to supervised, on-leash outside time, as he's probably scarring his poor inestinal tract with the sticks!

See if you can get him some very crunchy - but Cat-Digestable - treats, to give him instead of the sticks, which he probably likes the texture of. Did the vet check his teeth?

I don't know what these sticks are, but Fister had blood in his stool when I fed him Hills S/D only. The vet's assistant recommended to mix it with Hills W/D, so I did. After that there was no problem with blood in his stool.

In Jasper's case, it might be something entirely different, though.

Good luck solving the problem!

I agree.. limit his outdoor time and range carefully or don't let him out, and keep in close contact with the vet.

Sticks are the same at twigs - tiny fallen part of trees or shrubs.
