A cat having soft stools all the time may be caused by various reasons, including improper diet, gastroenteritis, parasite infection, and pancreatitis. If not addressed in time, the soft-stool problem may keep worsening into diarrhea, watery stool, and bloody stool.
In addition, long-term soft stools caused by improper diet or chronic gastroenteritis may lead to malnutrition in the cat and affect its physical development. Therefore, if a cat has a long-term soft-stool problem, it is recommended to take it to a veterinary clinic for fecal examination, abdominal X-ray, and blood tests, to determine the specific cause and formulate a treatment plan.
