We have 3 Maine Coons (and 1 short-haired cat) so we are very familiar with hairballs.
We were away last night and when we got back today there was a hairball to pick up in the living room (nothing too out of the ordinary...)
The weird thing is it smelled like poo!
And when I picked it up with a paper towel, there was some brownish liquid on the paper.
I know what hairballs and vomit normally smells like, but this was different.
And it was definitely a hairball and not just a piece of feces.
Is it possible they could have worked a hairball up from their lower intestine?!
I'm sure it came out the front end, because it was FAR from the litter box and they NEVER have accidents.
I'm worried this could be a sign of an intestinal blockage, but the problem is I don't know which cat it came from!
All cats are acting normally and ate normally when we got home today.
