Sloppy poo

I have two cats. One is 14 months, the other is 4 months. We've had the 4 month old since she was 10 weeks old. Before we had her, we had just changed the older one (Phoebe) onto adult food but since the younger one has come along (Jasmine) we've put Phoebe back onto kitten as we were finding it hard to keep the two lots of food seperate. We tried to put Phoebe's adult food on the side where Jasmine couldn't reach it but then she'd just eat Jasmine's food off the floor.

Thats all besides the point!

They are on go-kat dry kitten food. Our vet said they don't need wet food as long as they are drinking plenty, which they are.

For the past couple of weeks, Jasmine has had sloppy poo. The vet said as long as there was no blood, it was ok and she is happy enough in herself, lively as anything. However now Phoebe has started with sloppy poo! Neither go outside (Phoebe is terrified of the great outdoors and Jasmine is too little) so they haven't picked anything up. They are just eating the kitten food.

Any ideas why they have sloppy poo?? Weve done the starving for 24 hours and then plain boiled chicken and then slowly introudcing the cat food again which worked for about 2 days and now its sloppy again.

Something in the food is upsetting them, change their food.
I have a four year old cat and a four month old kitten at the moment and my cat will eat all the kitten food, (he is not allowed, as it has too many calories for him)
It is trial and error to find a food your cat likes and that suits your budget.

Try going cereal free, applaws do a dry food with potato rather than grains. Cats are not meant to have cereals in their diets at all, dogs are a bit more flexible.

They do not need all the colours in Go-cat I would choose a better quality dried cat food.
