Have you ever had your cat scared until poping ? Maybe as people who keep cats, we have seen once or twice our favorite cats run away in fear while littering. When we see a cat like this, of course, we as owners will feel surprised because usually even though the cat is scared, the cat will only run fast and then hide in the house.
Cats will not defecate. There are actually several things that cause cats to act this way. For those of you cat lovers who are curious about the causes, you can read Angora's article below to find out.
5 Reasons Cats Fear Until Pooping
A scared cat will generally just run and then he will hide in a place cat feels safe while looking at the thing cat is afraid of. But not infrequently a frightened cat will run away while pooping. Some of the causes that make cats run very scared while defecating based on Angora's experience include :
1. The Cat Just Got Beat Up By Another Cat
Adult male cats that have not been sterilized are known as cats who like to fight with other cats and like to mark their territory using their urine. When another cat enters its territory, it is not uncommon for the cat in power to beat the other cat.
The marking of this territory does not only occur outside the house, it can also occur inside the house. Therefore, it is not uncommon for adult male cats who are both kept by the same owner and live in the same house fighting with each other.
Adult male cats also often beat up adult cats and other young cats that they don't really like. When the cat that was beaten could not fight the cat could only run scared. And if the cat is so very, very afraid of other cats who are its enemies, it is not uncommon for the cat to run scared to the point of defecating or running while urinating.
2. The Cat Just Had An Accident
The next cause is the cat has just had an accident. Cats that have just had an accident will usually run so scared while littering. After he feels that the situation is safe then the cat will feel the pain he got from the accident.
If the cat's condition is severe enough, a cat that has just been hit by a motorcycle or car may experience bloody poop, bloody urine, and convulsions. The worst thing is that the cat will die a few moments or hours after the cat runs and hides in the house.
3. Cat Is Having Diarrhea
The third reason or cause is that the cat is having diarrhea. Your cat may not be scared, it could be that the cat is running around normally. It's just that a cat that is running is a cat that is having diarrhea.
Cats who experience problems such as diarrhea sometimes can't control when they will defecate. Sometimes feces will come out of the cat's rectum without the cat's knowledge. Feces that comes out is usually a yellow liquid and smells bad.
When your cat runs while removing feces even though there is no sign of an accident or being beaten by another cat, it is likely that the cat is having diarrhea.
4. The Cat Hasn't Finished Defecating Yet
A frightened cat may not have finished defecating. When the cat is busy defecating, the cat sees something that scares him. The cat finally ran with the dirt still on its ass.
When the cat is running scared, that's when the dirt that was stuck in the anal canal or buttocks becomes detached and scattered on the floor. This possibility applies when the cat is not experiencing the previous 3 things described above.
5. Cats Are Very Frightened
The last reason is that cats are very, very afraid. Cats who are very afraid of something can make cats experience this. This fear is usually triggered by other animals, sounds, humans or vehicles and other things around them.
This fear is generally triggered by the cat's trauma to these things which makes the cat very very frightened every time the cat sees these things.
What Should We Do When We See This ?
Maybe most of you who have just experienced this will feel confused and don't know what to do with your favorite cat. You can do the following things with your cat :
First check your cat's physical condition, see if the cat has physical injuries or not
Continue by looking at the cat, see if the cat seems to feel hurt or not. If the cat feels like it is hurting and in pain but there are no visible physical injuries on the outside, then you can be sure that the cat has internal injuries. We recommend that a cat who has internal injuries immediately taken to the vet for immediate treatment.
After being checked and it turns out that the cat is not injured and there is no sign of the cat having a wound on the inside of its body, then clean the body of the cat that has been contaminated with dirt using a clean, wet cloth.
You can also bathe your cat so that his body is thoroughly clean.
After the cat is wiped with a wet cloth or bathed, dry it with a hair dryer or a clean dry cloth until the cat's fur is dry.
Then after that try to make your cat calm by rubbing his head and body or pamper him by giving him the food he likes ( can be wet food, dry food and human food that cats can eat ).
Those are some of the reasons why cats are scared to the point of defecating and what actions we should take to our cats with their current condition. With this article, hopefully it can help you in overcoming your cat's problems.
