Veterinary fecal charts grade stool from dry cracked pellets to shapeless liquid, with the ideal in between: formed, slightly moist, and pickable without residue.
The hard end suggests low water intake or constipation tendency, while the soft end points to fast transit, food intolerance, or inflammation worth addressing if persistent.
Diet switches, deworming, and stress shift scores short term, so log food and environment changes alongside the score to find correlations.
Watery stool beyond a day, any blood or black stool, and kitten diarrhea all need prompt care; bring your log and a fresh sample to the visit.
