My 6-month-old cat has diarrhea and is pooping in the shower.

Question

Hello, my 6 month old cat Finn has pooped in our shower a couple times and it has been more runny than usual. He uses his litter boxes as well and his poop in the litter boxes seems normal, but he has occasionally been pooping in the shower and it doesn't look solid. He also has been meowing a lot more than usual so I am not sure if he isn't feeling well. He could have eaten something he wasn't supposed to but I am not entirely sure.

I recommend to have Finn examined by the veterinarian. The runny stool and the unusual behavior both are suspicious for illness. If Finn feels pain when having a bowel movement, this makes him think the litter box is the cause and he may look for other places to relieve himself. Bring a stool sample for testing. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
