Your cat's recent diarrhea could be related to dietary changes or something ingested outside, but cold weather isn't directly known to affect digestion. Keeping her indoors during chilly nights may help, but it's essential to monitor her overall health.
- Monitor your cat's symptoms closely
- Consider dietary changes if no improvement is observed
- Consult a vet if symptoms persist or worsen
Environmental factors like cold weather generally don’t cause diarrhea in cats, but stress from temperature changes could play a minor role. More often, it's diet or something ingested that affects their digestive health. Keeping your cat inside and providing a warm environment can reduce stress and prevent accidental ingestion of harmful substances. Monitor her diet and try feeding her sensitive stomach cat food to see if there's improvement.
