I hope it helps. My IBS kitty at first just threw up all the time. After four or five years of that, he developed very runny diarrhea. In the end he had blood in his stool and was really sick. Steroids did help but it was a battle getting him to take them. If it is IBS, trying to treat it as...

I'm having a similar problem with a feral kitten we adopted. We're almost there. I have been separating the two cats in different parts of the house. I use Cat Attract in the litter.
