Managed to get her bundled into a towel to have a look and turns out there's a wad of matted fur and shite the size of a Pizza Express doughball completely covering her bumhole.
🤮 good luck with the scissors

She'll be a lot happier when you get rid of that for her. I think I'd be feeling a tad anxious with the equivalent poop-bauble swinging around in my kecks.
I'm certainly glad we have shorthair cats.
Dropped her off at the vet's.
Absolutely stank the car out though. I men I'm a parent, can handle bad smells, but I had to roll the windows down.
Is she still under warranty? 😀

This thread is perfect without pics!

Hopefully you didn't waste the opportunity to actually do something about it? IME cats generally don't much mind the swaddling in a towel, they seem to find it comforting. Yours does sound a bit on the nervous side though, it might have been worth paying a groomer to sort it out. The cat won't be any keener on the experience but at least there's a chance she'll blame somebody else!
edit - yes, probably a good call re the vet's!
Did she notice how smoothly the Merc is running?

That deserves a round of apaws.
Back from the vet's yet? How's she feline?
Does pet insurance cover gruffnuts removal?
Tagnut removed from one of our's this morning. Tipper her belly up as MrsF snipped the poop off. Was one of the Ragdolls, so escaped with no injuries.
I once had to reprimand our cat for destroying our stairs carpet. I thought holding her under the shower would teach her. I would rather put my hands in a blending machine than do that again. I was a mess of cuts and blood for weeks
Yep cocky young vet in a proper county town surgery
“This cat does not want be here, she will kick off” “don’t worry I can handle it”
Sounds familiar.
Thing is, I saw it coming a mile away. Mollie is missing a leg, she pathetically hobbles about the place and everyone goes "aw, poor thing" but don't believe a word of it. She's the fastest of the three by a country mile. You know That scene in the Star Wars prequels where Yoda kicks off? That's Mollie. Not so long ago I rugby-tackled her as she was three quarters of the way out of an upstairs window at light speed that we'd left open for a nanosecond whilst decorating. Turns out, I'm faster but she's sharper.
Anyway. I warned the vet, then I had the same conversation with the "professional cat-holder" nurse. They looked at me like I was daft. She's sat there all docile and handicapped, I saw the nurse take her eye off the ball, right before the vet got the needle to the back of Mollie's neck and it was like a bomb going off.
The vet was like "can you come back another time when she's calmed down a bit?"
Back from the vet, £150. Policy excess is £140. The vet thought she might still have the runs so they gave us some stool hardener however I'm not convinced that she does. She went straight to her food when she got home. Will see how it goes.
She hardly goes out and when she does it's for a few minutes so I don't think she's eaten anything bad. And we don't have houseplants. We did get a different food brand though which probably caused it.
What do they give cats to cement their turds? Ours is a sloppy Joe. He's been to the vets loads and they can never find anything wrong except his capacity to do a brilliant chocolate fountain impression... (-:
150quid for a arse trim? 😯

I don't know, but my parent's cat Stan has a twisted bowel and has tk have laxatives. He used to have some horrendously expensive cat ones but then the vet said it's basically the stuff ad the liquid ones for humans which is loads cheaper so he has that now. Must be a human harder which will work?

Also, olbas oil works on sniffly cats,put on the cushion near their nose when sleeping, as does (don't laugh) suddocreme on fight scars or sunburnt ears
I would rather put my hands in a blending machine than do that again
That er..taught you. 🙂 I hope you received your reprimand with good grace.
The idea that the cat would associate a trip to the shower with the perfectly innocent act of ripping your house apart is hilarious.
We'd be very poor if it costs £150 to clear some tagnuts. Blimey. Advantage of our particular breed. Our previous cats wouldn't have tolerated it.
It wasn't just some tagnuts. It was a solid puck of shit welded to her arsehole.
