My kitten has loose stools but is acting fine. Should I be worried?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 2 months and 26 days old | 4 lbs

She has had at least two loose stool movements but has not had an accident outside the litterbox. She is exploring the house as usual - should I be worried?

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Peppercorn. It sounds like she has some diarrhea. I can give you a home remedy to see if that helps. Feed her a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, she vomits the bland diet, she refuses to eat the bland diet, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!
