My cat has some kind of GI issue that causes him to frequently have runny or blood poops. I've been to a million different vets, but nothing they tried ever fixed the issue, so it's just become a way of life. It doesn't seem to bother him at all; he's not afraid of going to the bathroom and doesn't cry or anything like that. So it is what it is. It just means that I have to check his butt every time he poop, to see if he's got blood/mucus/poop stuck on him that I need to clean, otherwise he will track it somewhere. While he doesn't seem to care that he has a GI problem, he certainly minds getting his butt touched, so that's always dangerous for me.
Our previous cat had a persistent gi issue like that with constant runny stool. It cleared up after we gave her antibiotics for a UTI. For some reason the first round didn't work, so the vet gave us a different kind which was brown and for dogs. After that she had normal stools.
