My mom has a 15 year old cat that is in decent health (some issues but they are being managed medicinally). Recently (within the last 6 months) she has started an odd behavior where she poops and then tears a** ( no pun intended!) out of the room with the litterbox. She will run around for maybe 5-10 seconds and then she is normal again.
The stools do not seem hard. In fact, they seem about as perfect as poop can be in both color and consistency. She still eats, drinks, plays with her jingly balls and laser, and is her general sassy self. She does not vocalize or pay special attention to her rear (licking or favoring it).
I'm not necessarily worried about her as she is normal as can be in every other aspect, but it does make me curious. Any idea what's up? Or is she just, as mom calls her, "a silly old cat that is scared of her turds"?
