My understanding of your question os taht you are concerned about your cat having loose bowel movements, her stool is loose like she has some mild diarrhea. Am I understanding you correctly? If so, then you can try adding a probiotic; there are some good ones formulated for cats. Ideally, take Chikoo to a veterinarian. If your vet diagnoses Giardia or an overgrowith of bacteria, often the medication metronidazole is prescribed. Metronidazole is not labeled for use in animals, though it has been used safely and effectively.
