Why does my new cat have soft poo?

I recently got a 6mo. old persian kitten. He has extremely long white fur. Unfortunately after I've had him for about 2-1/2 weeeks he started having very soft poo. He gets it stuck all through his fur on his rear end, legs, and feet. I have been feeding him the same dry food and no canned food. Once in a while it will be solid but for the most part it's soft. Do you think this is something serious enough to visit the vet about?

Well often it is a change in food type from what they had before and also the change in environment that can cause this sort of tummy trouble.

I would give it another week and as long as you don't see any other signs of illness it should clear up. however if not then yes i would take him to the vets just in case it is something else.

It is always a good idea to take a new pet to the vets when you first get them anyway, i always do as it will pick up on anything that could be wrong such as worms etc it will also give you peace of mind and a good starting place for your new life together.

i do have a web page about cat diarrhea which you mind find of further help. here
