It is also possible that he did have a parasitic infection which has resolved on its own as well. Don't forget cats can be carriers of organisms like Giardia and be asymptomatic-a stressful event ie change in environment or new home can however trigger an episode.

It's also worth pointing out that I've been told Applaws is a complementary food, so isn't complete with all the nutrients etc they need. If I'm right, then this shouldn't be fed except as part of a treat.

I think the OP was feeding Applaws dry,which is a complete food.It is the wet Applaws which is compimentary.
