Yes.  I would suspect a parasite, like coccidia or giardia (or worms)
though. If it persists, take him in for a stool sample.

Sage could have introduced more than herself/himself to the kitty mix.  
Odd viri, bacteria, and parasites could be the culprit.  Might not
warrant a trip to the vet unless more severe symptoms present
themselves.  And I tend to agree also that with being a tad high-
strung, a little stress could cause GI distress.  My suggestion would
be to treat symptomatically and give extra attention.  No cat fails to
thrive with that.  ;)

the last time my cat had the runs, after a few days, i opened up a
capsule of clindamycin and gave her about 1/15th of a human dose.
humans are calculated to be around 150 pounds, or they were before
mcdonald's. so if she is 10 pounds, the 1/15th seemed appropriate. read
a little on vet texts and it seemed in the ball park. stopped the runs
almost immediately. or so it seemed.

in this case, it was most likely food i had just bought, Lite or
something. either something disagreed with her in the food or that
batch had some serious bacteria. never gave her the food again and no
more runs since then.

it's also possible the runs came from a country mouse she caught and
ate at the same time, so not sure if it was the new food or the mouse.

stress and irritable bowel syndrom will cause things like the runs.

how are you adding acidophilus? by yogurt or the pure powder? i find
pure yogurt can do the opposite, loosen up the bowels. it's not a
binding agent. cheese is a binding agent, maybe a little, it's
fattening but nice to eat.
