Four months ago my cat was an outside cat, she went missing for two days. She came home on her own and was sick, coughing, sneezing, and lethargic. Vet treated her for upper respitory infection, after a week or so she was better, right after she felt better she no longer wants to go outside, eats everything in site, has put on 3-4 lbs. in 3 months. The strangest thing is she's not cleaning her butt very well so today, I decided to clean it for her and when I picked her up there was a chunk of mucus looking stuff hanging in the hair below her anus. I wiped it and put in container to take to the vet, if I need too. She acts fine, a little lazy but, not lethargic like when she was sick. I'm thinking worms of some kind but what I'm reading is the cat will lose weight, not the case. I have 4 cats now and have been a cat owner my whole life (43 yrs. and counting) I've never seen this before, any ideas?
