My 5 month old male cat has a runny stool, in fact his stool has always been runny. He has all of his shots and everything and he is an indoor cat. What might be the problem?

He may have a food indiscretion. Try feeding him a nother brand of food, preferably tinned food. You can also feed him some probiotics available from your vet, live yoghurt, and also try a bit of ground beef or boiled chicken. He should also be wormed.
