My cat pooped today, & it smelled TERRIBLE! Worse than usual, & then we went to see what happened & we saw that he had smeared poop everywhere. Why did he do this? He’s never done anything like this before.

Vomiting and diarrhea are both signs that Beanz is sick, and he may have a stomach illness causing these symptoms. Whenever a cat is having both diarrhea as well as vomiting, it's time to see the vet to get this diagnosed and treated. I recommend taking him into his vet in the morning. Tonight, feed him a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones or skin) to see if that helps him. Best of luck.
