Today, Obie had a poonami of epic proportions.
He's a greedy boy and I suspect overdosed on stealing his sister's and Portia's food. Went out for a poo (yay) and came back with said soft gooey poo firmly squidged into his very long maine coon fur.
He woke me up as always at 6.25 am and dragged his butt across my bed, Ds2's bed, Ds'1s bed.... and sat on every bit of furniture!!! I grabbed him, pulled off as much poo as possible and gave him a quick bum wash before I ahd to dash to work.
On my return I had to strip every bed, mop the entire house and clean as many surfaces as I could (they are kept in while I'm out)
DH and I then got the scissors and bowl of warm water with shampoo and attempted to clean him up. He was neither grateful nor happy, and wrestling 16 pounds of writhing, stinky arse is not something any of us enjoy. ..it was like a comedy sketch!
The poo has gone (as has half of his butt fur!) but frankly he still smells pretty rank. He is now on a strict diet of dried food for a day or so to firm his bowels up again...
Is there anything else I should do to help him not smell so bad? I don't want to subject him to another bath, poor boy!
I have had cats all my life, and Morph had to be bathed a couple of times, but I have never encountered such a poo fest and subsequent stinky animal!
