I've read a number of threads that deal with something similar, but not exactly the problem I'm having with my cat. Poco is a two year old cat, part Maine Coon, who has been having partially soft stool with occasional blood. It's only partially soft because it will start off looking like normal brown logs and then end up looking like a cow pie that's the color of peanut butter. Every so often, there is a little bit of blood in there. We have taken him to the vet, and the fecal test came back negative. He did have tapeworms, but we gave him the last of his pills earlier this week.
It seems like this has been more of a problem over the past few months, but I haven't noticed any change in his behavior or energy level. There hasn't been any new stressors (except taking him to the vet probably stressed him out). We were feeding him Purina, but switched to a grain free food about three weeks ago at the recommendation of the vet. We tried to switch him to the new food gradually by mixing the old and new as is usually recommended. He also gets wet food every night (which doesn't list any grains in the ingredient list but isn't specifically marked as grain free). He drinks plenty of water and has a hearty appetite, so it doesn't seem like he is in need of emergency care.
Any suggestions as to what might be going on and how to help him?
