One of mine legitimately gets angry when I scoop his poop, and even more upset when I do a full litter change. I have to wait until he's napping so that I can get at least part way through the process before he comes to yell at me. If I'm not fast enough, he'll even nip at my feet and/or (soft paw) swat at me.
Sounds like you guys need a litter robot. It disappears, so the cats don't have time to understand what happened to it.
One of the boxes that he gets angry about me cleaning is automatic, but it's a "PetSafe ScoopFree Crystal Classic", not a Litter Robot, so it only scoops solid waste to one side. The Litter Robots were too tall for the space I had previously, and as long as my current box works, I just can't justify something a few hundred bucks on adding another box.
I foster, so I get to see a wide variety of illnesses and learn about their early symptoms, many of which are diarrhea or other abnormal poops. My foster fail had an intussusception, likely caused by irritable bowel disease/syndrome (IBD/IBS). As much as I would absolutely love to spend waaaaay less time thinking about/looking at poop, I just don't see any practical way around it without putting the health of my cats at risk.
