So while all appears fine on the baby-front (knock on wood!), unfortunately our trip was not entirely fallout free.
As you may remember, our first human baby will not actually be the first baby in the house, that distinction belongs to my 10.5 year old kitty Taz, who I’ve had since she was 3 months old. We came back from our trip to find gifts of poo all over our bed and an extra clingy and chatty cat.
She went an entire week without any kind of strange behavior other than being extra needy (i.e. always wanting to be in the same room as us, wanting us to pet her, etc.) but unfortunately yesterday when I got home from work I found her wandering around downstairs, which I knew right away was a bad sign. Sure enough, I went upstairs and found another lovely “gift” from her on Paul’s side of the bed. It was a little mushy but not exactly diarrhea.
I don’t know what I was hoping for but I wasn’t expecting to come home today to not one but two piles of poop on our bed. She is eating, drinking and using the litterbox normally for the most part so I’m pretty sure this is a behavioral thing and she is still upset/stressed over being left alone but I can’t figure out how to make her stop! Any other cat lovers or vets out there have any thoughts?
I can’t wash the sheets every day, all I want is to come home and take a damn nap!
