If she is acting completely normal other then the diarrhea you can start a probiotic to see if that helps. I suggest this one. Do not give human probiotics or dairy products. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Purina-FortiFlora-Nutritional-Supplement-for-Cats/43285044 Give her the probiotic for a minimum of 10-14 days but if there is no improvement in the diarrhea in about 5 days I suggest you get Sassy to your vet for an exam and fecal testing. Hope this helps.
