False negative test for what?
I'm assuming you treated for round worm. If you used strongid and didn't get
the second dose into the cat at the appropriate time that could be part of
the problem. You could be dealing with Coccidia or Giardia. They require
different medication. I'm not sure if most vets have what ever it is they
need to check the stool for Giardia and may have to send the sample out to a
lab to be done. Either way either try worming again and get the two doses
into the cat on schedule or better yet just get the stool sample to the vet
and get it checked now.
Has the cat been tested for FIV FeLV?
Good luck with your kitty.
