Hello, I have had this sweet baby for 1.5 months now, but I've had consistent issues with her poos! The breeder said she fed Purina ProPlan Sensitive and "any wet cat food," and I tried to confirm if this is what she fed her kitten but I don't know if she understood me the best, so I let it go and went with Tiki Cat Kitten, wet and dry. Next thing you know, her poos are constantly runny even after the adjustment period (she warmed up so quickly! we are bffs now!). I tried real pumpkin for a bit, boom, giant pile of runny poo. On the walls and everything. Then, I started to try to slowly add the Purina ProPlan Sensitive, and they immediately started firming up. I'm so scared to try a different wet cat food so she's been on just dry for about two weeks now, which I know is not ideal but I just don't know what to do since I know every cat is also different.

I would say the consistency is about 60% normal 40% soft or basically a flat runny pile. I was thinking of starting to incorporate Royal Canin Kitten in so she's getting the proper kitten nutrients she needs and it has good reviews in this community. Are there any other suggestions? She seems healthy, she was at the vet when we got her Dec 13, and now that she's growing she's super playful and confident, probably extra bouncy with the growth spurts.

Thanks in advance!

Some cats can’t tolerate foods very high in protein, it’s just too rich for them. We feed grain free, but it too a while to find one that wasn’t too rich for them. You can look at the contents/percentage and go from there. We also see it can be an allergy so the food. We see chicken is often the culprit. I would stay with what is working for a while and get their tummy settled before trying another food.
