Our cat is soo fat she can't lick her own arse, so she gets her butt shaved and we have wipes for her, I have to wipe my cats butt after she poos!

hahahaha poor kitty! what's his name? or at least his former name?

her name is Skittles, she is on a diet, photos in the pets thread if you are interested.

This is a problem of fat cats I was not even aware of. I have a cat poo related tale too... My larger cat (not really fat, though he may be soon if he keeps eating like he does) has the problem of missing the litter box. He stands in the litter box, but then he poos so it goes just outside the litter box. I got a covered litter box to sit beside the uncovered to hopefully stop this, but he won't poop in the covered one, he only urinates in that one. And he is aware of what he is doing, I know, because after he does this he will kick litter outside of the box to cover up his poo on the floor. So afterwards, not only do I have the poo to clean up, but a pile of litter too. It's rather annoying, but at least the room with the litter boxes isn't carpeted.

I think the black colour is the result of the extra iron one takes when preggers.

I concur. My doctor recently started me on an Iron/Vitamin C regimen because my bloodwork came back funky and ever since then my poo has been black as sin.

the worst is waking up too late to poo at home before you have to leave for work. the ride to work is condemned to be worrisome. the day begins late, the whole rhythm is off...

Morning poops are important! I have a Pavlovian poop reflex - whenever I set a foot in my office building I need to crap RIGHT NOW. Can be awkward, especially whe. The elevator's out of order.

In cat poo news, this past Saturday, our poor cat experienced the Poo-pocalypse. We woke up to discover scoot-marks ALL OVER THE HOUSE. Poor buddy apparently got into some baked beans that had been left on a plate on the kitchen counter over night.

He was humiliated. Especially during his bath. Especially now that we have started referring to him as Sir Poobottom of Dingleberry Shire.

One of my cats has a very sensitive tummy, such that squirty poops are pretty common.


One of his theme songs is "Sputter Butt", sung to the tune of, "Spiderman":


Sputterbutt, Sputterbutt,
Friendly neighborhood Sputterbutt...

Can he sput, from his butt?
Take a look, smell what's up...

Watch out!
Here comes the Sputterbutt....

can he sput, from his butt!

*laughs*

not exactly poo related, but for a guy who sits in an office all day i think it is just THE WORST when you have a pimple on your ass....which you then sit on all day

I HATE BATHROOM SPRAY!!!


Uck! It is absolutely ridiculous that the stuff designed to cover up the scent of someone's poo SMELLS WORSE THAN THE POO IT IS ATTEMPTING TO COVER UP!

Last week someone at work kept spraying this cinnamon-scented crap that not only drenched the restroom in a cloying odor, but the odor filled the entire workspace near the bathroom and WOULD NOT DISSIPATE, and *everyone* was commenting on how nasty it was. It happened like 3 times. So on Friday, after it happened again, I anonymously went to the bathroom, grabbed the little bottle of room spray, and threw it in the trash.

Well today I go into the bathroom and get a noseful an even WORSE smell---someone brought a "floral" spray that smells more like rotting compost than any flowers I've ever sniffed. AUGH!

Why do people think that spraying with that crap does anything to help matters???

I don't understand airfresheners at all. It's not something anyone in my family uses, so maybe I'm just not used to it, but any kind of artificial scent anywhere in the house puts me right off.

Not to mention it sets my asthma right off

They just installed an air freshener in the bathroom at work and it's awful! I can barely walk in without gagging.

I don't understand why they installed it in the first place, that bathroom is so low-traffic that there's rarely ever anything to bother covering up!

I've found that burning incense is quite effective at getting rid of that poo smell, much better than air fresheners or sprays.

In fact, lighting a stick of incense makes taking a crap a rather meditative, transcendental experience.

or in lieu of that luxury you can always light a match....the smell usually masks the nastiness

I like the match idea, but then I sometimes light matches just to smell them anyway

I can usually hold the matchsticks okay, at least the wooden ones, but then not only can't I see the striker but it's really hard to hold it stiffly enough to get it to catch. It's a great exercise for my glut's, though, I have to admit.

Letting go of it before it burns my butt is another skill entirely.
