RE: Microbiomes: I'll skip the chicken, but please pass me some cat poo!

AFAIK eating the poo wouldn't be so beneficial as most bacteria would die at the beginning of the digestial track.
What you should be considering is a fecal transplant which has supposedly been a thing in the past few years.

That could be true. It's difficult to get good bacteria to survive that digestive journey. Some foods are better delivery agents than others. I'm not even going to think about how cat poo would do. :) For this article, it was more of an illustration than a suggestion.
