Since this thread was started I've been poo'd on twice by our Okeetee. :awcrap:
The first time was a couple of weeks ago when I was holding her after a feeding, but prior to a pooh. She poo'd on my lap. Tonight she pood all over the carpet while I was holding her. Once again after a meal, only this time she had done a small poo prior to me holding her. In both cases I kept on holding her to not reinforce this bahavier. Tonight she's in the blue eyed phase of ecdysis so that may have contributed.
Two things I've learned:
1) I'll wait for the 'second' poo after a feeding before I hold her.
2) I'll always keep a paper towel in my lap just in case.
3) I'm not convinced it's a defensive behavier in her case. She's what I would call a pooing machine. She poo's double, possibly three times as much as our Anery.
