    Mine's had it for awhile. I've tried tried different wet foods but nothing seems to be working.

    I think the wet food makes it worse. I usually put two cups of wet food out in the morning (one for each cat) but since she's had diarrea in the night I was planning on only putting one wet food and some dry food.

    I did give her some butter.

    Our kitty had some softer stool as well because she is on antibiotics. I read about it and they say you can give them plain fat free yogurts. It contains probiotics to repair the gut flora. We got some probiotics stuff from the vet and she is much better now. It's a paste and a powder.
    I read that you can also give them canned sugar free pumpkin. If she is on medication, maybe that is causing it? Ours was on doxycycline and the vet said that it causes diarrhea in some cats, so we quit that now.The antibiotics screw the gut up by destroying all the bacteria, also the helpful ones. Then they get the runnies. Just like humans.

    We also asked the vet again about the fishy food and she said it was absolutely fine to feed it to her. She is not overweight, playful and sporty. At the moment she does have some kind of coold, but it is getting better now. I'm not gonna change her diet.

    If you only give her dry food, make sure she has plenty to drink and also drinks so she doesn't dehydrate.

    Plain, raw pumpkin helps with diahrrea, but you have to be sure it's got no sugars in it.. And make sure she gets plenty of water! Poor kitty, hope she feels better soon!

    part of me wonders if that isn't a medical condition

    Love the rolling and flopping toward the end.

    And you KNOW that cat could've decimated the squirrel.

    Sweetness :)

    Gah! Couple of beauties! And I love Oliver's toe-beans.

    Well-done on the thousandth, sir. Well done :)

    Yep, three cats. Had four at one point, but Shadow passed a few years ago. He was gorgeous. All black, green eyes. Like a panther. Never liked having his picture taken. He knew when I had a camera out, he'd go running. Little shit :lol: I'll see if I can dig up a pic of him.

    My edit: Here's Shadow...

    Pretty boy! I've never been able to connect with black cats for some reason, probably on me and some subconscious energy I'm giving off.

    When we adopted George, his second "hey, how you doing" appointment at the vet had us in the waiting room for a bit with two beautiful black-furred green-eyed siblings up for adoption.

    They HATED me. I've no idea why and it actually hurt my feelings...what'd I do?

    Love Shadow's long whiskers. For some reason it's hilarious to find the random one on the furniture, scratching post, pillow.

    Then they try to eat it =)
