What does it mean when your cat has white feces?

White feces usually indicate a lack of bile in the stool, which is responsible for its brown or yellowish color.

Lack of bile in feces may be caused by a number of conditions, including:

- Liver disease: When the liver is not functioning properly, it fails to produce enough bile, leading to white or pale stools.

- Bile duct obstruction: Obstruction in the bile ducts (ducts that carry bile from liver to the intestines) can also cause a lack of bile in feces, resulting in white color.

- Pancreatic disease: The pancreas plays a role in releasing enzymes that aid in digestion and absorption of nutrients. If the pancreas is not functioning correctly, it can affect bile production and lead to white feces.

White feces can also be caused by some medications and certain types of food, so if you notice such stools in your cat, it is recommended to consult with a veterinarian to identify the underlying cause and receive the appropriate treatment.
