Do you think a cat would get diarreha if you changed there diet? Like from dry food to wet food or vice versa.

A change in diet could cause Diarrhea in a cat. Mine just had a trip to the vet because of that and it was some kind of organism causing it. They put him on some pills and it cleared it up right away. and he is fine now.

anytime you change an animals diet it will have an effect on their digestive system generally it is only temporary and will go away once they are adjusted to the new diet its always wisest to slowly integrate the new diet in so that its not a huge shock to their system all at once

I think it can cause a kitty to have diareeha especially if you are changing from dry food to wet food because your kitty's bpdy is used to dry food and the wet may be a little too wet. What you can do is mix it. give kitty some dry with some wet.

oh yes, even changing the kind of food can do it - of course, some cats just have it for whatever reason, age, poor health, etc

Cats are creatures of habit so they do not like change, a change in diet could be the cause but to be safe I would bring the cat to the vet.
