Why is my spayed cat's stool pasty a month after antibiotics?

Question

3.5yr old female spayed cat having pasty stool since a month. No change in food. Had an UTI and given antibiotic shot a month back and been fine since then. Eats healthy and active.

A pasty stool can be from multiple things including parasites, inflammatory bowel disease, poor nutritional absorption, and more. I would first talk to your vet about bringing in a stool sample to test for parasites, giardia, and campylobacter. If everything is normal, you can try to put her on some oral probiotics to see if this helps to balance her stool. If not, I would have your vet do any exam and see if everything looks okay. They may suggest blood work and even a GI panel which tests for VitB12, folate, and 2 pancreatitic enzymes (PLI, TLI). I hope this helps!
