I came home yesterday and found a slight mess on the bathroom floor -
not near the litter box.  It didn't look like normal poop - much
lighter brown....it kind of looked like it might have been barf as it
actually resembled partially digested canned food.  She had canned
food for the first time 2 days previous to that (late xmas treat).

But when I noticed it, and was about to clean it up, she started
clawing at the rug next to it as if she were trying to cover it up
like it was poop.

She did get spayed earlier this week, but has been acting normal other
than seeming to be especially in want of attention, but I attribute
that to her being cooped up in a kennel for xmas and me being
exceptionally busy since I've been back.

It's probably nothing to worry about I'm sure, but she's never barfed
or pooped outside the litter box before.
