My cat has thin, bile-like poop & pees less. Should I see a vet?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 15 years and 8 months old | 8 lbs

My cat had 2 thin bowel movements in a day... almost looked like bile vomit, not smelly. Now is urinating infrequently.. Husband tried new dry food 48 hrs before (Now back to usual). Acting normal, maybe a little quiet. See a vet today or wait and see?

If she is still eating normally and not vomiting you can definitely wait a couple day to see if her bowel movements start to go back to normal, but if she is very lethargic or start vomiting i would recommend taking her to the vet ASAP.
