Cat RUNS like crazy before POOP

[pomtzu]

I also had a cat that used to do this - but only after pooping in the litter box - but not every time. I always attributed it to him just feeling better. My ex used to sing an old commercial whenever he saw the cat do this. Remember the old Alka Seltzer commercial? - "plop, plop, fizz, fizz - oh what a relief it is"!!!!!

Oscar sometimes does this - and my mom's lilac point ALWAYS does this - it's so funny!!!

Perhaps the simplest thing to do is to take a fresh sample of poop to the vet and have them do a check on it. (just turn a fresh clean baggie/ziplock bag inside out, use it like a glove to get the sample, then turn it 'right side out'. )

Hoping your kitty is just a nut like some of the others here.

ETA: I've known some cats to also meow, as if they are announcing their accomplishment!

My 2 male cats do this. They will shoot of out the room where the litterbox is and down the stairs and act wild as a march hare!!!!! One of them also meows afterwards, sometimes too. I look at it as a warning to hold my nose LOL I have never thought of it as an indicator of something being wrong with them.
