My kitten has liquid poop but is playful. Could her food be the issue?

Question

My kitten Ovey is 7 months old & we live in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Eating dry food 3/4 cup daily & wet food 1/3 small tin daily. We have a pet store called Pet Valu & the brand of food is Performatrim. online reviews it is apparently very high quality food. This morning she had a liquid poop. Straight liquid & it's not the first time it's happened. She is extremely playful & seems to be in no distress or discomfort. I've since discontinued feeding the wet food. Do you think it could be the dry? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 5 months and 13 days old | 7.75 lbs

Yes, it could be the food. Some food doesn't agree with a cat's system. If you switched foods suddenly, that could cause it as well. Other causes include intestinal parasites, eating something rotten, and a foreign body. Make sure Ovey is up to date on her deworming treatments, and you can try a home remedy to see if that helps the diarrhea. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the diarrhea starts again on her normal diet, then you know it's the food :-)
