My cat's poop is weird, like a pancake. Is it diarrhea? Vet now?

Question

Her poop looks weird since yesterday. It is more like shape of brown pancake. Otherwise she seems normal, drinking and eating. Is it diarrhea? Should I take her in now or this may pass in a few days? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 21 years and 3 months old | 11 lbs

Yes, it is diarhea. If Caroline is really 21 years old as you stated above then I suggest you get her to a vet for an exam. A cat that age could have some underlying health issue that needs to be addressed before it gets out of hand. If she is a younger cat, and everything else with her is normal, then you can wait a few days to see if this passes. The other thing you can do is start her on a probiotic - one that is made for cats. You can treat her with this for a week or two to rebalance the bacteria in her intestinal tract. I like this one made by Fortiflora but you can use any one that is made for cats. If still no improvement then you need to get her to a vet for an exam.
