man, all the anti-biotics must be fucking his stomach up. You might want to look into giving him some benebac. It's a probiotic for cats. The powder is good, but for you boy, you might want to get him the Gel syringe.

Also, a nutraceutical called denosyl works wonders for heptic lipidosis. It's basically a supplement, so it has no side effects or threat of overdose.

One of my cats has irritable bowel syndrome. This results in chronic diarrhea. We used to have her on a prescription food, and it helped, but here's what we found worked best, diet wise to control the diarrhea:

We give her a quarter can of Friskies Turkey with half a tablespoon of pumpkin purée - the stuff for pumpkin pie filling. It has a lot of fiber and works wonders. We also buy a cat probiotic from Amazon and follow the instructions on the jar, which is one scoop in with the food. We mash it all together, that's what she eats all day, and it's has changed her movements from pure liquid to a more solid "soft serve". We still wipe her bottom, but it's so much better.

As far as not using the litter, it can be a lot of things. We had an older cat who developed arthritis and could no longer step into the box we had so she started having accidents. A much lower box solved the issue.

She may not like the kind of litter you're buying. The box might not be clean enough for her. The box may not be in an area she feels safe going potty in. She may have a UTI or other health issues.

I'd start with fresh, new litter boxes that are nice and clean and in a low traffic, quiet spot. Throw away as much as you can that has been pottied on so the cat doesn't smell the mess and think "oh, this is my poopie place." Move up to trying the pumpkin if you can and maybe add in the probiotic. Try to get her to a vet if you can.

You're a good person and you're doing all you can. I wish you the best.

Edit : I saw someone mentioned fortiflora! That's what we were using! We didn't have much luck with it and so we switched to this probiotic because in the ingredients it had more active probiotics. We've had much better results, but you do your research and try what you think is best. And if you can get to a vet, of course listen to them! :)

We used http://amzn.com/B005IW1GOY

We don't use it nowadays and just stick with plain greek yogurt every morning with his kibble.

My cat had perpetual soft poops which sometimes had a small amount of mucousy blood. I took her to the vet and she went through two rounds of meds and nothing changed. I eventually tried adding probiotics to her food once a day and now she has totally normal poops! this is what i use https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RKQF6QA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I used to have a similar problem with one of my cats. Then I read an article saying it's not "normal" for a cat to throw up all the time. According to the article, even the usual reasons are not valid, such as "food is too rich", "he eats too fast", etc. The author claimed that cat food, especially dry cat food, lacks certain nutrients (don't remember what). And because of that, cats can end up with some kind of liver failure; with vomiting being a symptom. I don't remember all the details.

I'm not sure I agreed with everything the article said. But one thing it suggested was giving the cats a feline probiotic to give them the additional nutrients I guess. I figured I'd give it a try.

I sprinkle the probiotic powder on everything my cats eat... dry food (shake it up in a baggie), wet food, treats... it all gets a healthy sprinkle of this stuff. Vomiting has gone WAAAY down. Nowadays, mostly the occasional fur ball (despite lots of combing). I do give more than it calls for on the label, so it can get expensive. But worth it to me.
