We switched from 40:60 wet food to dry food ratio diet with random mixed protein sources to wet food only with one isolated protein source. This was done to identify if food causes my cat's vomiting issues. This is the one we're using now, DRN Solo with 100% rabbit meat:

Been on it for over a week.
However we are having so many litterbox troubles with now! There has been an increase in urination and a decrease in defecation. The increase in urination is probably due to the moist consistency of the patè, even though he completely ignores his water bowl now (with kibble in his diet he used to drink a lot). He can pee up to 4- 5 times during 24 h, compared to his regular 3-4 (most often 3). And there is always a lot of pee, so no tiny amounts. No blood, no straining, normal flow of pee.
What puzzles me is his pooping - in the beginning all was looking fine, he would do it once a day and it looked like healthy poop. Now for instance, he didn't poop for more than 24 h (around 30) and when he finally did, there was just a tiny bit. The poop isn't hard and round, its soft but just so little. Can't believe that's the amount he managed after 30 hours. He eats and looks normal.
Is this some kind of adaptation phase, or maybe lack of fiber in the diet? What is happening here?
