Help. My cat had pooped in my bedroom and I can’t find it.

Ok my cat has done a horrible smelling shit and I can’t find it.

It’s definitely in the bedroom, I’ve looked everywhere. Except obviously I haven’t.

Where might a cat do a “secret poo?”

I’ve checked on my shelves, under the bed, in the pile of fresh washing, in the cupboard. NOTHING.

I’ve tried following the scent 😷 but it’s nowhere to be seen. Please help me before I have to check in to a hotel or sell up!!!

It will be a tiny bit of a runny poop that is stinking. These are really hard to find. Keep on hunting, fo a grid search like the police.

How bad is it?
On a scale of
Oooh that's a funny smell
To
Shit my eyes are stinging

Is it getting better, worse.
Its not behind the curtains is it?

I blame the treat YOU gave him Grin

Fettuccinecarbonara · 28/10/2017 20:47

Could you borrow a dog?

My dog loves to snaffle a cat poo like they're a delicacy.

NorthernLurker · 28/10/2017 20:47

I so want photos. I know I can find it if I can see the room. Sort of cat poo psychic ability.....

Kitee · 28/10/2017 20:50

It’s 100% a poo. And it’s a bad one.

I’ve got a colourful duvet cover and had the same thought about it “blending” but it’s not on there.

shark I am walking back and forth between the kitchen and bedroom with my glass of wine, shitty cat is now staring at me weirdly. JUST TELL ME WHERE YOU DID IT.

It must be somewhere awful and it must be a runny one. It’s the only explanation.

How is it something this bad can feel so good?! Grin

I'm seconding the motion for photos!

flutterby12 · 28/10/2017 20:54

Were any of your drawers open?

Kitee · 28/10/2017 20:56

just I knew he’d done one as he was sprinting back and forward.

It’s probably an 8.

I’m considering sleeping on the sofa.

pasta I’ve resigned myself to the fact that it is a runny job and this is my life now. Anyone got a spare room/ want a cat? 😂

The Shitty One is now snoring on the sofa. Probably couldn’t stand the stench from the bedroom.

Well you're obviously going to burn your house down. Put your family and the cat up in a hotel first then light the first match ....

SteelyPip · 28/10/2017 20:59

You won't sleep a wink. The smell will haunt you! As will the realisation that your cat is now sleeping on your bed instead of you. You are on the sofa, and he has successfully smeared his poo somewhere you can't find it. This is the mastermind of all cats. We should bow before him!

RebelRogue · 28/10/2017 20:59

@Kitee I have a spare sofa bed but uhm.. there’s a cat sleeping on it. Grin

SteelyPip · 28/10/2017 21:00

Aha - crossed posts. He's heard you were going to sleep on the sofa, so has now displaced you from there too!

Kitee · 28/10/2017 21:00

steely I have genuinely resigned myself to this fate. 😫

OP posts:
SteelyPip · 28/10/2017 21:01

And this was the plan all along! Grin

Kitee · 28/10/2017 21:02

@rebelrogue not helpful 😂😂

at the risk of further reprisals from the MysteryShitter can you borrow a dog?...they LOVE catpoo and would seek it out in a heartbeat.

HollyandBrambles · 28/10/2017 21:05

Oh OP, I’m afraid I LOVE this thread!! Grin

WineWineWinefor you though!

AccidentalyRunToWindsor · 28/10/2017 21:05

Are you sure it’s a poo?

The farts on one of mine are so potent that we often think a secret poo has occurred.

64BooLane · 28/10/2017 21:05

Do you have a stack of magazines/books anywhere?

hopeful31yrs · 28/10/2017 21:06

Stealth poo... we have protest poos or code brown in our home. Less so no older kitty died. Few bed poos. Good luck

hopeful31yrs · 28/10/2017 21:08

Ps is the poo on the kitty? When our bengal was young he used to neglect his bottom cleaning..,

ocelot41 · 28/10/2017 21:08

Silly question - he is not a long haired puss and has it caught down the back of his legs does he? Mine does this sometimes and it is VILE. Swift action needs to be taken with babywipes and nail scissors....

TheBeastInMsRooneysRoom · 28/10/2017 21:09

Do you have a divan bed? Ours get inside the base (in the fabric/frame part). You'll only know if you cut the fabric off the underside though.
