My new cat has constant diarrhea and is leaking poop. What to do?

Question

I’ve had my cat Lola for about a month now and she has had diarrhea the entire time, and has also been really stinky. I thought it was just because of the food adjustment with being in a new home, but the last few days she has been leaking poop everywhere she sits. Should I change her food or what can I do to make this stop? Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 5 months and 22 days old | 5 lbs

She needs to have a fecal test done. The number one reason for diarrhea in a young cat is intestinal parasites (worms or protozoa). So I suggest you take her to the vet for testing. That way you can get the appropriate medication to treat her.
