My cat eats 4 times a day, 6hrs between each meal. His diet is mostly boiled chicken breasts, dry food and water. He does not produce normal poop (solid) but it kinda liquidy..brownish poop. What should I do? I tried feeding dry food only but it's still liquidy. (He eats then goes to sleep for few mins to an hr and then plays with the toys, his sister (cat) they wrestle and move alot, cat toys and drinks water. No treats included. what should I do/feed? He is not sick, he is completly healthy.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Smokey. I recommend that he sees his veterinarian as soft stool is not normal in a kitten. The vast majority of these cases are due to an intestinal infection or a diet sensitivity. His veterinarian will likely perform fecal testing. Deworming medication or an antibiotic may be necessary. If this does not help, then a diet change could be needed. A high quantity kitten food is needed though. Royal Canin, Purina ProPlan and Hills Science Diet are all good options. I hope this information helps!
