It is possible that the diarrhea is from the change in food, but other causes of diarrhea can include intestinal parasites, bacterial or viral gastroenteritis, GI blockage, inflammatory bowel disease, among a few others. Unfortunately there are no OTC human medications that are safe for cats with diarrhea. You can try adding in a teaspoon of canned pumpkin twice a day for extra fiber, but if the diarrhea continues in 24-48 hours or if he develops other symptoms, Bane should get checked out by a vet for treatment.
