Hello,
Our cat is 16 weeks now and eats food for juniors. I would like to know
from what age on he can eat normal cat foot? He does not like the soft
food too much, and prefers to eat dry food, but he always has a little
diarrhea. What should I give him?
Regards,
Michael

What type of dry food?  How much a day are you giving it?

Regular food after about a year.  But cats will be cats  I have one that
refused wet food but will eat soft dry food or hard.

Most diarrhea as you described is caused by overeating  but being young it
can be something to worry about

You can collect a stool sample and take it to the vet to make sure the
furball has no parasites.  Also a cat to your vet to ask if a visit should
be necessary.

You did not say on which continent you live; but remember that if you spend
a little more for premium cat food you will save much more in vet bills.
Only one trip to the shop for urinary trouble can cost ten times that of the
cost of premium food.  If your cat prefers dry food you are fortunate.  Ask
your vet what s/he recommends and stay with it.  It will save you $$'s in
the long run.

You need to go do some more research before you do recommendations

We have our cats conned into thinking the premium food is a treat.
They devour it.  It stopped the hairballs, vomiting and diarrhea.
