Default Stupid question - poo related...

I recently switched my cat from all wet Nutro to all wet Wervua and BFF. So, I cleaned the catbox on Sunday - complete change. I usually scoop every other day. Went to scoop today and their is very little poop. A lot of pee, but only 3 maybe 4 pieces of poo.

I know when I switched my dogs to raw, they didn't poo much, but my cat went from wet to another wet. Is this normal with a better quality food? Is there that much difference between foods? Should I be checking the cat out, or looking around the house? I know the dogs didn't snack, since it is in a gated room.

Yes, it's normal. Higher quality means better utilization, so less poop.
PS: the only 'stupid' question is the one that is not asked

Wow. Thank you for the responses. I guess the stink from the box will be less too then! I know the difference with the dogs, I just can't get my cat to eat any bones, not even fish, so I haven't switched to raw - plus he won't eat organ meat. (I cut up pieces of the dog's food and mix it with his canned food, but he eats around the stuff he doesn't like.)

Thank you again for putting my mind at ease. I was worried he was sick.
