Hi and welcome to PT. I'm sorry to hear that you're having problems with your cat Zoey. To me it sound like your cats didn't receive the proper care while you were away and Zoey was most likely trying to tell you this by meowing so much. I've heard of animals holding a grudge and acting badly when their owners return from vacation. This may be the reason why she's been pooping on your bed.

Since the litter box wasn't cleaned very well or not at all during your vacation, Zoey may have started doing her business outside of the box and now maybe she's afraid to use the box. Cats don't like dirty litter boxes and will go else where if they become too dirty. Her problem sounds like it's behavioral to me but since her poop is runny you may also want to take her to your vet for a check up or at least take in a stool sample for your vet to test. Her runny poop may also be caused by stress by being away from you and put down in a basement. I hope she'll start acting normally soon and feeling better too. Good luck.
