We woke up Monday and our cat was very lethargic, she is usually a total rascal running around and getting into things. It was clear she wasn't feeling well. There was a puddle of diarrhea by the litter box and wasn't interested in eating or drinking. We threw away her can of cat food, but we don't know what it was. I usually clear out the sink, counters, and table before we sleep/go to work, so I don't know what she could have gotten into. I like to take care of problems right away, but my husband's more of a wait and see kind of guy. He agreed to a vet appointment, but said if she was looking better by then we should cancel and see how it goes. We came home from work and she was back to normal. Jumping on our shoulders begging for food. She had drank the water i put next to her and she was back to her rascally self. My husband asked me to cancel the appointment. We fasted her 12 hours, but she was demanding food so we gave her boiled chicken, rice, and pumpkin and she ate it all up. The next morning there was more diarrhea in the box. No blood and she wasn't going frequently, she was also peeing the same amount as usual. It was the same as usual, but mushy. I fed her the chicken, rice, pumpkin mix the rest of tuesday and she seemed completely normal. Again this morning more diarrhea. I read diarrhea can be dangerous because cats can get dehydrated fast, I don't believe she is dehydrated at all. If I were to venture a guess I would say she's just getting whatever it was out of her system, but she is my first cat and I am far from knowledgable. Anyone have previous experience or advice?
