I used to have my cat on a really good brand of food called neutriance, but he wasn't taking to it very well. He almost always had wet poops. It wasn't like diarrhea they were just wet. I ended up taking him to the vet and he said my cat might have a food intolerance or it could be any number of things. Basically he wasn't a lot of help. My mom suggested that I put him back on friskies so I did, but I still mixed in a little bit of the neutriance. After that it was a lot better. I think there might have been the odd wet poop but overall it was good. So I forgot about it. But recently he's been having more wet poops. I did get him the adult version of neutriance to go with his friskies but it's not a lot different from the kitten. I don't really know what to do. Other than that he is completely fine. He seems healthy, acts normally, very energetic. But everywhere I read about wet poop it says it's a major health issue. I have another cat too who doesn't have this problem. I don't want them on separate foods, that would be nearly impossible to do. I dont know if this is a big problem in my cats case, or is wet poop REALLY all that bad?

I think the question is, 1) is this a basic food intolerance issue or 2) something more significant like IBD.  There are good foods that are considered good by what's on the label, and there are good foods that keep our cats happy and healthy, and sometimes those aren't the same thing.  I would try putting him back 100% on his old food and see if that helps, and if not i would consult your vet.
