Bob, I assume you've checked Yogi for parasites. The fact that he
is losing weight and having soft bloody mucus could indicate IBD
Inflammatory Bowel Disease, I have a cat with this. My cat, Sooty,
was on Metronidazole for two weeks, and now has to take prednisolone
every other day (transdermally) to keep this under control. He also
gets B-12 shots once a week. I hope Yogi does not have this, as it
is not curable, only managable. Sooty still enjoys life, but cannot
gain weight no matter how much he eats.

Bob, in case this might help Yogi?
My non-FeLV positive cat Frodo, had terrible, liquid, smelly stools
with mucous for a number of years.
Started at about 1.5 years of age. Tried metronidazole, all of the
dewormers and treated for coccidia too, was sure he must have had IBD
or colitis, etc.
Finally what helped him was a restricted protein diet, to rule out a
food sensitivity. We had to stick with the diet for months, longer
than the recommended time, with a few metronidazole weeks
interspersed, almost gave up when he got a mild bout of loose stool
again, gave metronidazole one last time, a few days past when I was
supposed to stop it, and glad I did, because his stools firmed up and
became normal, and have been normal ever since!
I have read that cats have food sensitivities more than actual food
allergies. I am not sure to what ingredient he is sensitive to, and
hesitate to try to figure it out, because after so many years of
terrible stools, now
he is symptom free and has been for a number of years. He eats Royal
Canin rabbit and green pea. Not what I would like to feed, but
in his case it was the answer.
In case this might help.
