Yuck, NOT IMPRESSED !

Last night, my cat sprayed watery poo on me, and it really stank !

She hasn't got diarreah, so it seems more like spraying, except brown. Yuck !!!

Any ideas why she did it ??

I'm just guessing here, could it be she has blocked anal glands?!

I'll move this to the Health Forum

It could also be a uterine infection called Pyometra that often has a nasty discharge. If it is it needs immediate vet care.

Are there any other symptoms to that ?? apart from that one incident, she seems fine.

Cat's are very very very good at hiding pain - it's part of the fit survive - the ill do not!!! Please - At the very least call your vet!!!

True, I'll give the vet a call tonight

Were you doing anything in particular when it happened? Ally does this when she gets scared, goes outside, when the vet handles her or anyone else she doesn't trust and of course when my boyfriend feels the need to pick her up and swing her in the air. She's a bit high anxiety. Vet said its just a reflex and her glands were fine, you could mention that if your kittys' are as well.

My guess would be anal glands.

If she is not spayed, pyometra is a possibility, but pyometra makes them very sick so if she is playful and her appetite is good, then that is not likely to be the problem.

She's spayed and healthy. I've a veeling it could be nerves. after all, it was the day after bonfire night ! either that or anal glands. it hasn't happened since anyway.

Sorry I posted in the wrong thread. It sounds like anal glands and she needs to have them expressed or she will become impacted. A vet or a professional groomer can help you there.
