(dc -> houston 174 p 3) south is sick
something is wrong with my kitty. she is suddenly leaking very smelly liquid poo everywhere she goes. and now i have to leave for houston and leave her leaking poo.
i first discovered it on the massage chair last weekend, but thought it was an isolated incident. then yesterday, she smeared some real fresh stuff on my laptop when she sat on my chest and when i went to clean her up, there was a surprisingly big mess. later in the evening, it happened again, this time on my leg. now that i know about it, i see/smell spots of brown everywhere - on my pillows, on my sheets, on my blankets, on carpets, chairs.
does anyone know what's wrong with her? this has apparently been going on for at least a week. she doesn't act sick. her catbox looks normal. she seems to be eating and drinking normally.
poor kitty. it kills me to leave her like this.

i'm really sad to hear south is sick. you probably already read this kind of stuff, but i found a couple of vet sites that talk about this problem here and here. so, you're in houston! if you have time, call us and maybe we can get coffee or ice cream.
hi claire! i hope you got my message! i'll be here till thursday, so we should definitely try to get icecream.
thank you for the links! i feel awful that i can't be home to watch south and figure out if there's something else wrong with her. she sort of seems normal, other than the leaking. i just hope she'll be ok for the next couple days and then i'll watch her really closely when i get back (and take her to the vet, of course). :(
You left a seriously sick cat alone in Washington? How awful - - and selfish. Constant diarrhea in cats is often indicative of a far more serious problem - one which needs constant attention -- not neglect. Doesn't B'hai teach you about respect for animals? Shame on you - career before cat!

i don't think she's seriously sick. i have someone there looking after her. her stool in the catbox looks normal. it's not excessive, and she's acting normal. she's not lethargic, she's eating and drinking normally, so i postponed my trip for a day, but chose to come to my meeting. i think she'll be just fine. as soon as i get back, i'll take her to the vet and have her tested. in the meantime, i'll just have to watch her through my friends, who are caring for her. thanks for your concern.
