Hello all! My beloved cat Finny seems to have vomited something up and it looks like poo! But it is odourless and I'm not sure. I wonder if you can help identify it? Vomit or poo?
Some background: Finny is a mostly outdoor cat who also loves his home comforts. He comes and goes as he pleases and is extremely affectionate when he's at home. Unfortunately we can't put a cat flap in so I just leave the sliding glass door open wide enough for him when he's out, and close it once he's inside. When he wants to go out he makes this clear by being restless and walking to the door.
We live in a semi-rural area on the edge of town, lots of fields and country past our home. He is sometimes gone for 24-48 hours (three nights was the longest!) and then he comes home and retreats into his cosy little cat-cave and sleeps for ages. I don't know what he eats when he's out.
Last night he came home in the middle of the night. It was raining and he was soaking wet. He likes to come in my room at night and sleep on the bed but I didn't let him last night because he was so wet.
When I went downstairs this morning, this "thing" was on the hall times.
He has a litter tray and has no problem using it usually. However,
several nights ago he pooped on the carpet, a large poo that stank out the whole house.
We recently moved house -- in August. But he accommodated very quickly to the new place and seems quite at home. He did spray the upstairs corridor a few weeks ago, perhaps to mark his new territory? That's where his cave is. This happened once, no problems since then.
