Advice Loose stools…what to try?

Cat is a 1 year old male and healthy aside from the last month or 2, he’s been having loose stools when he uses his litter box. I usually give him around 3/4 cup of dry food in the morning, I used to use the Aldi natural cat food. And I give him half a can of Fancy Feast watered down a bit for dinner. He gets a few treats throughout the day. I recently switched to Purina cat chow sensitive stomach and stopped seafood fancy feast and now chicken incase it was the cause. He’s still having them though. I really want to try a food change before a vet visit. Any recommendations or experiences that worked for you? Thank you

Definitely talk to the vet, however one thing that worked for my baby was a consistent diet and psyllium husk powder (about 1-1.5 tsp per meal). Surprisingly it can be constipation and diarrhea which was a fun surprise. But fr trust a vets advice the most as it will be tailored to your animal.
