Poopy-time

Hi there folks, I am the "Human Bean" mom to the Blessed Lady Ba and her feline family! I'll be helping the kitties with this blog.

The last few days have been kinda poopy for us. Someone has been laying a poopy in the living room, right in front of the front door... this has happened a couple of times and it is quite inconvenient, to say the least.

Our kitties do not normally poop outside the box, so I knew something was amiss. Finally I was able to catch Princess Noelle in the act, grabbed her up, and placed her in the litter box. The poopy came right out, and hoboy was it runny and stinky! There was a little blood in there too, so I've taken it to the veterinarian for a lab test.

I think that if we can get this diarrhea under control, Noelle can be persuaded to return to the box to do her business. It's gotta be tough when the poor kitty has to go so badly. So I can't bring myself to chastise her for this... we'll get any health issues squared away and maybe some meds for this diarrhea. Then we'll work on getting the poop into the box.

For those who are wondering how we clean up this stinky mess, I prefer "Nature's Miracle" orange formula. Cats don't care much for the smell of orange, so I'm hoping it will discourage her from hanging around that area to do her poopy.

We'll post again later when results come in from the lab.
