Covered In Cat Poop

So, my foster kitten Ollie has a condition I call "Leaky Butt." His vet visits showed that his testicles haven't yet dropped (for a moment I wondered if he was a hermaphrodite and made a mental note to look up local sociology professors, preferably ones with an academic interest in gender, but I digress). Because his little boy bits are still in his body, they're messing up the landscape for the organs that are supposed to be there. The result: anal gland issues and an irritated bum that doesn't always clue him in when he has to poop. The leaks aren't every day, and I help keep him clean and treat him with Animax, but there is the occasional surprise poo appearance.

Last night was one such occasion. Ollie got on my bed and smelled like he'd just used the litterbox. I was only half conscious and didn't think any more of it. And then my alarm went off. I opened by eyes and saw an Ollie-sized skid mark on the pillow next to mine. Ew. I sat up to find another skid mark on the blanket. Gag. I went into the bathroom to find a skid mark on my shoulder and a Rudolph-esque poo dot on my nose. Getitoffgetitoffgetitoff!!!!! Apparently Ollie had to try out a couple of areas on my slumbering body before he decided to settle down.

After taking the kind of shower the government gives to people who are exposed to nuclear matter and doing a big ol' load of laundry, I can't help but laugh. The poor kid can't help it, and once he's neutered in 2 weeks, he shouldn't ever have the issue again.

I just can't get mad about it. Could you?

I thought the photo was gonna be of POOP! Oh well. Nice kitten, other than the smearing feces all over you in the middle of the night...

You didn't by any chance have any weird dreams about being in the movie, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, did you?

That is just SO WRONG. I'm sorry for your poopscapade, truly, but (oops..pardon the pun) it IS FUNNY! Thank you for sharing!

Note to self: get plastic sheets for bed.

Awwww....he's WAY to cute to be mad at! :)

I was okay until I saw the nose poo...I had even taken the shoulder poo in stride, but the nose totally gagged me. Maybe Ollie's part of an underground conspiracy to get back at humans for "Stuff on My Cat." The Poo on Your Human conspiracy.

Also, Robin, how would I get the photo to show up in my post instead of an attachment?

I use Mars Edit to insert images, but now that I sit here and think about it, I'm not sure how YOU do it. I will ask Sam when he gets back from his meeting with a CEO of a big company. In the meantime, I can do it for you, but the post will change to say I wrote it (I will credit you properly) because I will have edited it to add the photo. If that's OK, then I will add it for ya.

Sorry for the lumpiness of doing posts! Will get that worked out.

haha-lump. I'd love it if you could finagle Ollie's picture into the post. Thanks!

Dude the "government shower" had me giggling. My current foster, Whitney, had leaky booty too! Landmines everywhere! I reached under the bed for a toy and got a fist full of soup poop!! Skid marks on my bed too. I finally started putting a junk sheet over my bed before i left every day, to try to save my comforter and sheets!

I FEEL YA!! (But she never souped on my face!!)

Great writing and I think anyone with cats -- at least those of us who let our cats sleep on our beds - i.e. rule our lives - can relate to your post! But damn you are funny! LOL Your story is just another example of why I refuse to change diapers of any nephews running around...I have cats, therefore I deal with all the poop I can (barely) handle! LOL

My foster Nattie has the same problem.
Though lucky only bedding has been impacted thus far. She also has atomic grade farts that could make a grown man pass out!
What ya gonna do right?
You can meet Nattie here: http://ihavecat.wordpress.com/foster-spotlight/foster-hall-of-fame/kitte...
