Why does my cat have loose stools and litter box accidents?

Question

I rescued a cat about a year ago. She had horrible diarrhea. She was tested for everything, which was negative & was on antibiotics twice. I changed her to hypoallergenic food & treats & put her on probiotics. Her diarrhea is no longer watery, but she still has loose stools. I came home today to 4 accidents outside the liter box despite the boxes just being cleaned. I'm pregnant with triplet boys, and I can't be constantly cleaning my floors especially when they get here. Any other suggestions? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 12 lbs

Try adding one half to one teaspoon of plain canned pumpkin (NOT pie filling) to Penny's meals once or twice daily. The additional fiber may firm up her stool. Provide additional litter boxes for her as well. If the soft stool persists, she will need to be rechecked by your veterinarian. Discuss allergy testing, food elimination trials and hydrolyzed diets. Advanced diagnostics such as endoscopy and intestinal biopsies may be necessary to diagnose IBD or other inflammatory conditions.
