Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male
My cat keeps jumping up and meowing randomly. I’m not sure if this means he’s having pain. He has also been having diarrhea for the past week.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be a sign of discomfort for example. Diarrhea can be observed with conditions such as colitis, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, intestinal parasites, among many other possibilities. I recommend that you have Coal 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!
