Why does my cat have diarrhoea?

Here are some of the more common causes of diarrhoea in cats:

◦ Diet – Too quick a change to a new food or eating something unusual outside can cause diarrhoea.

◦ Worms can cause diarrhoea in cats.

◦ Infections like Campylobacter, Salmonella and giardia. These can cause tummy upsets in people too.

◦ Foreign bodies - this means having eaten something they shouldn't have and it getting stuck! We often find cats with something stuck are vomiting as well, but not always!
