*Poops*

Our oldest cat Pouncer is a very sensitive cat.  She gets very upset when people yell and will start to meow and panic.  When she gets extremely upset, she will also leave little turds around the house.  Luckily she does not do this very often and it is always in a place where we can see it.  But her doing this has led us to give her the nickname Poops.  She first started this when she was about 3 years old when my mom’s boyfriend moved in with us.  Before he moved in with us she would sit on him and love on him.  It was after he moved in with us that she started to leave turds.  Luckily she did not do this for too long, probably about a week, and she tolerates him now but does not really pay too much attention to him.  She still will leave turds periodically when she is extremely upset.  We do not make a big deal out of it or yell at her because she only does this when big changes happen or she is extremely upset.  Instead, we make sure to give her extra attention and try to calm her down.  The extra attention seems to work and now she will only leave turds for a day, maybe two.  Also, she only leaves a single turd about once a day when this does happen.  So if you find that your cat is randomly doing this, try to just give her a little extra attention and see if the problem goes away.
