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!!!

Enjoy the wine and sofa for now and try again later. I need to know!!!
And yes, I’m over invested in the location of a cat shit. What have I become?Confused

PickledLilly · 28/10/2017 21:12

Have you got any plants in there? One of my old cats used to manage sneaky shits on the compost in surprisingly small house plants. They’re pretty hard to spot.

LoveProsecco · 28/10/2017 21:16

I’m feeling so sorry for you WineBrewCake

bondbaby · 28/10/2017 21:17

I've just laughed for about 5 minutes at PP's cat doing one on the UPVC windowsill and leaving an ingrained shit stain there forever. Cats are bastards but this thread reminds me how much I miss having a furry bastard round the house. New kitten time soon I think!

Tiddlywinks63 · 28/10/2017 21:19

Thank god I don't have a cat!

ButtMuncher · 28/10/2017 21:26

Sorry OP - me and DP have just spent 5 mins laughing at the shitty one Grin Cats are amazing little bastards sometimes Grin

WhatIsThisWatt · 28/10/2017 21:30

I misread funny bastard as “funky bastard” pp the latter is true Angry

I had to turn the heating on. The smell is now ingrained into my life and mind.

Still no luck. I looked In a random scarf, inside the pillow cases, behind the blinds, In the blinds, on the windowsill.

It must be a runny one that I will never find.

I can now no longer have any visitors because I will go nose blind if I haven’t already.

Rightmove it is 😂

He’s my favourite thing in the world but this has made me question that status.

Doyouthinktheysaurus · 28/10/2017 21:34

You need to do a forensic style bedroom search, mark out grids on the floor and search each one before moving on.

Time away from the stink will help as well, come at it with a 'fresh nose' so to speak.

Sending you 💩 finding vibes and 🍷

this thread has made my night

catonlap · 28/10/2017 21:36

Windowsill?

Vinorosso74 · 28/10/2017 21:36

Marlinspike I can't remember what the cover picture was now. Maybe I should contact them with Vinocat's suggestion... And yes it is still a separate review section.
Our Saturday nights are rock n roll Grin;10 years ago I'd be out not wondering where cat poo was in a stranger's bedroom.

tattychicken · 28/10/2017 21:37

Recheck the pile of clean washing. My old girl loves pissing and shitting on piles of clean laundry. And I'm sure she sometimes shits in the middle of the pile then puts the clothes on top, as a nice surprise for me.

OverlyYappy · 28/10/2017 21:48

I would say the bed, or under the bed. My cats banned from my bedroom for shitting twice in 1 month.

Silly bitch still meows to get in.

I detest cat shits in the bedroom

64BooLane · 28/10/2017 21:57

Yes to the forensic grid search. It has to be somewhere. Pretend you are the FBI.

ColourfulOrangex · 28/10/2017 22:00

Sorry OP but I’m loving this thread Grin

I hope you find it soon

Jakethekid · 28/10/2017 22:04

Iv just realised watt is here. A shirty neighbour and now a shirty cat. Drink all the wine!

Jakethekid · 28/10/2017 22:05

Shitty* stupid autocorrect

mumonashoestring · 28/10/2017 22:06

One of ours managed to shit down the back of the radiator once, absolutely indescribable. Failing that, any ornaments, vases etc he could have squatted over?

They are horrible little goblins, aren't they? Grin

RebelRogue · 28/10/2017 22:11

Go bare foot in the bedroom. Odds are if there is any kind of shit and you are barefoot you will step in it.

Have you tried hoovering?

Failing everything, spread flour absolutely everywhere, turn a powerful fan on, and wherever the flour is stuck,there’s your poo !

64BooLane · 28/10/2017 22:12

Any luck, OP? (btw did you namechange?)

GinAndSonic · 28/10/2017 22:13

This is why I don't have animals

64BooLane · 28/10/2017 22:15

Yeah, same Gin. I’d like a cat if I could be sure it wouldn’t leave slugs on my pillow or poo in my bed or do the myriad other minging things I hear about MN cats doing.

cozietoesie · 28/10/2017 22:16

Put him in the room and watch his behaviour. Smile

GinAndSonic · 28/10/2017 22:18

I find my kids disgusting enough tbh. Plus my house is a shit hole, if a cat did a hidden shit I'd have literally no choice but to burn the place down.

GruffaloPants · 28/10/2017 22:27

Any plants?
