I'm assuming Munchkin is a cat. If he has had diarrhea for over a few days, I would recommend to take him into the veterinarian. He will likely get probiotics and an antibiotic. He also needs a fecal examine to check for parasites so be sure to bring a fresh stool sample. At 13 years old, diarrhea can also indicate renal or hepatic issues. If you have not had bloodwork run on him in the past few months, it would be worthwhile to get his levels checked to be safe. At home, try feeding him boiled chicken and white rice. This is a nice bland diet (if he will eat it). I hope this helps!
