All 3 cats have access to a catio, a fenced in, safe, backyard area just off the house. They access it by cat door. They like to hunt "small game" and occasionally bring me a cricket, snake, or lizard. One time a lizard fell off the ceiling onto my head while I was doing my God time.
I was getting ready to go to bed. Biscuit went into a litter box and proceeded to strain and strain. Oh, crap, I thought, he has more crystals. I decided it was just making us both miserable with me watching so I went in the other room.
Biscuit came in the room after me and began rubbing his butt on the floor. He has never done that. I figured, it must be butt related and not bladder.
I warned you. You can leave now.
So I checked him, and he had half a dead bug hanging out of his butt. I got the disposable gloves and a wet wipe, then gently removed it. Biscuit seemed relieved and ran off. I threw it all away.
He is now acting totally normal. I'm glad he's better but he scared me pretty good.
Small game indeed.
