Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Diarrhea can be observed with conditions such as colitis, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, intestinal parasites, among many other possibilities. I recommend that you have Licorice evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They may choose to check for parasites and to start medications for diarrhea depending on the results. Good luck! Hoping for a speedy recovery!

Yes, it is most likely a GI issue. I recommend calling your veterinarian in the morning to schedule an appointment. My concern is your cat is not eating. They would be able to run blood work and a stool sample to determine what is causing this. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
