My daughter _had_ to have the "little" kitten.  You know, the one half the
size of all the others.  The runt.

Well, turns out he has some sort of rather unpleasant intestinal thing going
on.  Left to his own devices, he has constant diarrhea and the poor thing
walks around with his back feet tucked in 'cuz his butt has got to hurt
something fierce.  We have found only one food - Hills Prescription Diet
t/d - which prevents the diarrhea.  The vet suggested we try this, as he has
had luck in the past with it with cats like this, the theory is that it's a
relatively high fiber kind of food, and somehow that helps.

Well, that was fine for a while, until said cat decided he was tired of the
same damn food day after day (can't say I blame him).  So he took to jumping
up on the counters, attacking people as they were preparing dinner, that
sort of thing.

Vet suggested maybe Hills w/d (same maker, different flavor) would work.  So
we tried alternating t/d and w/d, giving both at the same time (different
bowls, a smorgasbord kind of thing).  That sort of worked, though it was
clear that w/d did not give the same benefit as t/d.

Any suggestions on other brands/types of food to try?  Other methods of
dealing with this problem?

Thanks!
Chris
