Blue cats are prone to diarrhea, which usually doesn’t resolve on its own and requires the owner’s assistance for recovery. Various factors can cause diarrhea, such as a cold stomach, overfeeding, internal parasites, or infections like parvovirus or feline distemper. Here are some detailed steps for owners to identify the cause and take appropriate action:
-
Cold Stomach from Floor Chills:
-
In spring, temperatures fluctuate, and owners might neglect night – time temperature drops. Inadequate warmth can cause blue cats to catch a cold, leading to diarrhea. To address this, provide additional warmth by thickening the cat’s bed and ensuring the environment is warm.

Incorrect Daily Feeding Methods:
-
Many owners, especially new ones, may not feed their cats properly, leading to overeating and indigestion. If this is the case, try fasting the cat for half a day, then feed it Miao Changyi to aid digestion.

No Internal Deworming for Blue Cats:
-

Blue Cat with Parvovirus or Feline Distemper:
