So two days ago, I come home and my 6 month old cat Kyuubi tries to run out. I grabbed him before he gets the chance to run. But as I was putting him down, I got a big whiff of his fart... it was bad :yuck:.
At first I didn't know cats usually don't make a sound when farting, so I thought he pooed near by. After a quick inspection and the smell dissipating, only then did I realize that it was just a really bad fart.
For the next two hours, Kyuubi is still farting. I couldn't take it anymore (and with an empty fridge) I decided to grab some dinner. When I came back, I noticed one of the two cats pooed in the litter (I prayed it was Kyuubi). I cleaned it up and cleaned it again at around 1am (one of them pooed again). I assumed that by now they had both gone.
So fast forward to last night. I wake up in the middle of the night and smell poo. The litter box is fairly close to my bed, so I decided to clean it up right away... but there was nothing there. I looked over to my left and saw Kyuubi sitting on sink counter in the washroom, with a weird look on his face... as I got closer, the smell got stronger... To my horror I see that Kyuubi pooed in the sink!
Here are some facts about Kyuubi:
-he never peed or pooed anywhere other than the litter box
-he was neutered a week ago
-he did act weird the first few days back, but for the last 5 days, he's been back to his normal self (no changes to his eating, sleeping, playing, etc)
-he shares 2 litter boxes with his brother (they only pee in one and do both in the other). I use the Arm & Hammer unscented clumping litter. I have tried the pine pellets in the past, but they don't like it.
-he and his brother do fight a lot, but have shown no territorial or possessive behavior.
-he's eats Wellness Kitten dry (eats the lion share as he is now 50% bigger than his brother and a little doughy). I've been trying of about a month to get them to eat wet food, but they just don't care for it. I believe part of the problem is they just don't know how to eat wet food. They will lick it, but won't eat it. I think I need to borrow someone's cat to show them how to eat wet food :rolleyes: I did not try feeding them wet food for a week leading up to the neutering and a week after.
-his poo in the sink looked very normal in terms of color and texture.
2 poo issues within 2 days, is there cause for concern?
