And peed, too. That's normally what you expect of your cat, however NOT when said box is her carrier.
I took Bodie to PetSmart this afternoon to get her daggers trimmed. I knew it was time because yesterday she took a swipe at me and her nails cut into the thick skin of my palm 1/16 of an inch and pulled a chunk of skin off. It took me five minutes to get her into her carrier today.
When we got to PetSmart and she was put up on the grooming table she was fine. She was timid, obviously, but she didn't try to EAT the groomer as she does me when I try to cut her nails.
When I put her back into the car, no sooner had I pulled the seatbelt over the carrier than she began taking a huge, wet crap.
*sigh*
I thought maybe she had farted. I rolled down the window and kept going, but the smell got stronger.
I rushed to get the carrier across the threshold to let her out and saw that she had indeed soiled the towel I use to pad the carrier (now in the trash).
Bad Bodie.
I just find that strange. True, she's an indoor cat and doesn't get to see much of the outside world, but I'm disappointed that she'd think I'd let her get hurt.
Now my car smells like a diaper.

Also a good idea... although you need the carrier for safe transport, wrapping her in a towel and holding her close so that she can peek out but feel hidden, is a real help - for both of you - and cuts down on the hair all over.

Posted by: wordweaver at August 8, 2005 10:12 AMKitty did that to me one time too. In our case, I put him in his box because it was 3am and he was going wild and I wanted to sleep. Your kitty might have just really, really, really needed to go to her litter box and just couldn't hold it any longer. A soiled kitty box is much easier to clean then a soiled car. I wouldn't worry on it.
