Why is my cat’s poop runny or loose?
Most often dietary: recent food change, new treat, dairy. Less common: parasites, IBD, stress. When to escalate.

How often should my cat poop?
Once a day is typical, twice is fine, every other day is at the edge of normal. What matters is the change, not the number.

Is it OK that my cat eats but won’t drink water?
Probably fine if she’s eating wet food; canned food is 75% water. When a refusing-to-drink cat needs a vet visit.

How can I tell if my cat is dehydrated?
The early signs of dehydration in cats are quiet: tacky gums, low energy, a poor appetite. A quick at-home check, plus when it turns into a vet visit.
