We took Luna in for her checkup today, and it started off as one of the best veterinarian experiences of my life. Woke up at 8 to get her there by 9, and it all went smoothly. She took her booster shot like a pro, and her fecal test went well, but I guess when they jammed their little sample stick up her butt, they loosened up her guts.
On the drive home, she started going apeshit inside her carrier. And then, about halfway home, I heard it: the loose thwopping noise of diarhhea. My cat had emptied her bowels all over the car carrier.
The smell was sickening. We had to roll the windows down and bear the 10 degree air, because otherwise we would be purging our systems. Of course poor Luna tried to bury her shit, but because she defecated on a towel, that was impossible. She just ended up getting the crap all over her paws and legs, and subsequently all over the walls of the carrier and the nearby door of my car.
After several dry heaves and a few more miles, we got home. Into the bath goes Luna, and then immediately she jumps out, darts through the carrier door, out of the bathroom, and into the apartment, tracking poo the entire way. I managed to get her back in the tub, but as soon as the water started, she went crazy. Scrambling to escape, she managed to scratch?with poo-covered claws, no less?my arms and even my stomach, through a shirt. This cat was bananas.
Right now, she’s hiding under the tub, shivering, waiting for us to come and finish the job. We have to wash the feces from her, but I’m not sure how we’ll do it, yet…
