Throwaway cause this is a specific cat problem and my mate might see it, but hopefully they'll have a good laugh...

Today I was catsitting for two adorbs kitties. One of the kitties has spinal cord issues from an injury with a prior owner.

Lil bean delightfully woke me up at 5.30am, pulling herself onto the bed - only to flail around the foot end until her nappy had come free.

I took this as a sign she needed a pee (which she needs help doing and I had been helping her with during my stay).

I got up and scooped her and the nappy and we went to go toilet.

This is where I f*cked up.

I'm holding kitty gently over the toilet and helping her relieve herself, when her legs start to shake quite a lot and she starts meowing.

I am new to this, so I thought she was asking for some time on the ground before we emptied any more (I could feel that she still had pee in her bladder, but thought she was shaking because she was upset and wanted to go down).

NOPE.

Kitty did a shitty, all over the floor.

Thankfully a nice healthy looking one, but still a surprise and a bit of a handling hazard, as kitty also saw this as an opportunity to exit.

I got the added bonus of scooping the shit with some toilet roll then avoiding the shitty floor to catch the cat and finish the bladder voiding, before cleaning all the wee and poop that had escaped in the process - and then eventually chasing her with a new nappy (don't underestimate the speed of cats with spinal problems!!)

Eventually she was clean and I gave the floor a good clean.

Thank heavens it was on the easy wipe flooring.

Took me a while to sleep again after the mild panic.

Could see the glee in her eyes after.

Still side-eyeing her for a sneak poop for the rest of the day. Washed my hands many times. Chalking it up to experience.

TLDR; thought cat was annoyed with me, turns out she was doing a shit and I actually put her AWAY from the toilet and then had to clean shit off the floor and the cat and then chase her round trying to get a clean nappy on.
