What to do if my older cat has loose stools but no other symptoms?

Question

My cat has loose stools for about three days. She has a bowel movement once daily, which is typical. She is not exhibiting any other symptoms. She has an appetite and does not appear lethargic. She had a check up recently, including a stool sample analysis, and got a clean bill of health. She is an older cat. Any suggestions? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 6 lbs

Considering what you described, I would suggest to withhold food for the next 8-12 hours and then start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken/white fish and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice diarrhoea, more vomiting, lethargy or inappetence. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
