So I have been searching other posts and I think Maxx may have anal gland problems. I'm going to call the vet and get him in. But I noticed when I came home a couple of times, that there'd be a tiny spot of soft, mucousy poo with a tad of fresh blood in it. I couldn't figure out which cat it was until yesterday. Peaches was sleeping in the computer room so I know it wasn't her. Besides, I caught Maxx scooting his little butt across the carpet 2 times now. So anyway, he pooped in the litter box and started coming down the hallway and the little dime size deposit with the bit of blood in it came out. It's like he has no control of it. Then he came in the living room and scooted. Out comes the little green machine to clean that spot! I'm hoping it is something simple like his glands just need to be expressed. I'm really kind of nervous and freaked out. I think because of losing Jake in September. Some vibes for him (and for my freaked outedness) would be helpful! But does all this sound familiar to those of you who have cats with anal gland problems? Other then that he's eating normal and very active. He's playing all the time like normal etc.
