My 12 year old cat has been producing this weird stuff. She's been a bit weird recently pooing in the bath so I upped the litter trays and all was well until the other day I found some weird red jelly stuff in the bath. It looked a bit like jam or the kids toothpaste so I sniffed it and it wasn't nice at all, kind of meaty. No poo in the trays or the bath, just the red stuff.
Today I've come home to more stuff in the bath but also in the litter tray as well as a poo. I'm not sure if she started in the bath or the tray but it struck me as odd that she was in 2 places.
Initially due to the lack of anything else I thought she might have thrown it up but now I wonder if it's coming out of her bum hence the poo??
She seems fine in herself, a bit grumpier with the other cat if he gets too close to her and being a bit fussy with food but that's nothing new.
I think a vet trip is in order ASAP because I'm sure it's not normal. We've had her since she was a kitten as well as other cats and this is the first time I've seen anything like this. It almost reminds me a bit of a mucus plug (never had one personally but I've seen pictures) Anyone have any idea what it might be??
