My kitty (Sam) has done this twice that I've seen. He gets into a panic, races around in apparent distress, and stops to "check out" his butt. Eventually, he will deposit a little bit of poo on the floor, and then he's fine.
He's obviously upset - is usually meticulous about using his litter box. I try to comfort him, and he seems to calm down.
All I can imagine is that his previous owners disciplined him for "accidents" - he seemed to have the same reaction when he vomited, until he realized that he would not be punished.
Right now, he's just lying in the bathtub, and grooming all over.
Is this something I should worry about? (I'm not worried about occasional accidents on the carpet). I just don't like to see him upset.
