I adopted my cat Thumbelina from a shelter in my city about 4 months ago. She has been on Rachael Ray's Nutrish dry cat food from day one. I wanted to start her out on something grain free, byproduct free, and overall a more healthy choice in food. However, she has been having bad, stinky diarrhea for at (the very) least a month now. I changed her flavor of food after she finished her first bag in the first month or so that I had her and that is the only kind of kibble she has ever had. She was given Friskies or Sheba every so often but still had diarrhea. She has been getting canned tuna at least once or twice every two weeks for the last month and a half. I've noticed that when she eats the tuna. her bowel movements are more solid. She has always had a healthy appetite and will eat literally anything you put into her bowl. She is on a strict 1/2 cup of kibble a day diet. I have an appointment with her vet in a few days but maybe y'all could help me. My question is, could she be allergic to something in the RR food? What kind of things are cats allergic to in foods? Would it be best to feed her a raw diet? What kind of foods would she need if I were to begin a raw diet for her?
