I have a few suggestions...

First of all, you need to get your kitty on a healthier food. IAMS or Euckanuba are good and aren't too expensive. I know you're worried that kitty won't eat it, but, and this might sound crude but it's true, have you ever seen a dead kitty next to a full dish of food? Eventually your furbaby will eat, it just may take some time.

Second, are the bm's solid or liquid? If they're not solid, you should have kitty checked and rule out the possibility of parasites or IBS.

Third, I went through this with my kitty. Without having a proper test done (a colonoscopy), my vet was willing to try an alternative to an expensive diagnosis... if you're considering the possibility of IBS, and don't want to pay the large sum of money it will cost to have kitty checked, like me, one thing you could do is try putting about an 1/8 of a teaspoon (not sure if you need a conversion for that) of Benefiber (Acacia will work too) in some canned food once daily and see how it goes.

Good luck... I hope kitty feels better soon.
