My apologies in advance for a rather detailed description of my cat's poo.
When I went to scoop the litterbox just now, I noticed Stewie had left a fairly recent stool. It was mostly normal in size and consistency, except for a small quarter inch gel/mucus-like cap on one end of it. It looked like the stool had a grayish-white tip to it, but this portion of his stool appeared to be entirely composed of mucus. It separated relatively easily from the rest of the stool when I was using a q-tip to investigate further, and had the tiniest hint of blood (a drop). It was thick and kind of stretchy, maybe because the mucus wasn't fresh. Has anyone else experienced a cat with mucus plugs in their stools on occasion? I figure he might just have a touch of upset colon or the like, and I'm not overly concerned, but it was a strange find. It could be that he's experienced these before and theyve just been dried out by the time I go to scoop the litter.
Thanks in advance for any feedback you can offer, and for your willingness to discuss poop with me. [emoji]128517[/emoji]
