Now that I have your attention from that rather yucky title:
My 9 month old boy has had really runny diarrhea which I established was diet related, so I changed the food. However, even now his stools are ok, he 'leaks' a little where he sits. It's not a lot, just a small brown patch with maybe a tiny more solid bit.
I do have to keep a careful eye on this guy as he has a funnel chest and is not necessarily out of danger with that as he is not yet fully grown, but it is certainly looking positive. However he was one of a litter of six, and all the others died very early. So I'm not quite sure what issues he may have. I don't know the full story of his littermates.. I just took him to make sure he was well looked after.
Also, when I was cleaning him up, which I'm doing regularly, a reasonable amount of greyish fluid came out... probably anal sac secretion. Does that happen when cleaning this area of a cat? I can't believe after all my years of cats, that I've not had it happen before.
On a lighter note, he's rather thrilled with me cleaning his bottom and has become even more affectionate!
