Why does my cat have loose stools and bile vomit after feeding changes?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | 10 lbs

Last 2 days cat has looser BMs; have structure & normal shape but tad moist yet stay intact when scooped. Regular amount of BMs as well; not in excess. Had increased cats feeding last few days & wondering if that may have caused change in his BMs? This AM cat puked a little bit of bile & wonder if thats due to me withholding his food yesterday in hopes to offset the looser stools? Cats been acting normal, has an appetite, drinking usual amount of water, &active. Does have history of pancreatitis

Yes, if you are changing the amount fed or withholding food that can certainly affect stool volume and digestive upset. I would feed Casper his regular amount of food and spread it out over several meals in the day to keep him from eating too much at once or his stomach getting too empty -- both of which can cause GI upset. If the loose stools return or continue, a visit to the vet to rule out other GI issues, parasites, food allergies, etc is best.
