Question for Cat owners...help!!!

I will try it, have to put it in the living room. sigh...if this doesn't work my husband is threatening to take her to the pound. yikes.

Crap. When our cat turned 9 she started doing the same thing. Pooping and peeing on our bed. We changed her litter box, put plastic on the bed, NOTHING. We finally had to kick her completely out of the bedroom and she started deficating and peeing on the sofa. We took her to the vet multiple times. There was no infections or physical reason. We finally started letting her do her business outside and she became a much happier cat. I NEVER believed in outdoor cats, but she simply wasn't happy in the house anymore.

Good luck. I've heard there are cat calming herbs and pheromones to help them urinate and deficate in the right places. You might try that.

I had a cat that did this... just completely outta nowhere.. we had to surrender him to the vet because we couldn't deal with the shit anymore

demon possession.

I know this is so weird. I had her since she was a tiny baby and no problems. Now...geez, poop on the carpet, every single day. We have had the carpet cleaned, again. I frebreezed it, and still doing it. I can't let her outside...she has never been out and there are tons of big dogs and heavy traffic on the street where we live.

Sometimes they do this because they are sick. They want to show you something.

HOWEVER, that said, I have a cat that gets really mad if it doesn't get enough attention and will take a dump just to tick me off. There have been times that I had to do the litter box moving trick at when this happened.

Also, our magnetosphere/ionosphere has been taking some pretty good hits lately. This affects people and most likely affect animals too.

My cat suddenly decided to start urinating on the bed. We tried moving the box and trying different litter..It turns out, he decided he didnt like his litter anymore, and when we got to a natural one that was really lightweight and such, he liked it. We havent had any problems since.

So, Id suggest trying different litters..

Also, in the process of finding a solution I found out sometimes cats change their toiletry habits when theyre stressed too.. and stress can be caused by something as little as getting new curtains in a room.. moving a piece of furniture in your house etc. For this, Im not sure how you would fix the problem.. extra loving attention.. treats throughout the day to make them happy?

Try "Cat Attract" cat litter. You have to go to a pet store to find it, and it's spendy ($15 - $16) but it lasts a long time, clumps up nicely and doesn't smell. It is GUARANTEED to train/re-train your cat to the box.

I tried that...works for new cats, but didn't for my older cat who had stopped using the box....

your cats not real old but i've heard of cats with arthritis and they can't lift their legs to climb into the litter box. is she showing any signs of pain. you might wanna ask the vet.

Just search for his porn folder to gain some leverage...

Two or three days spent cooped up in a very small bathroom may do the trick.

...with a litterbox, of course

That's their way of saying they're mad at you for something.

That cat needs a spank.

I had a cat that would do this when she got pissed off. Has anything around the house changed lately?

Actually its a cry for attention.. Do you play with him much? At 8 years old they tend to get out of the playful moods and lie around a lot but maybe just some loving attention will help a long with the Doctors advice.

Barring illness, the cat is showing it's disapproval about something. You will have to completely remove any odor and or stains the cat leaves or it will continue using the same spots. We use a product called "out". We but it at the dollar store.

Check her paws for irritation or injury.

The litter may hurt right now.

You got to change the sand regularly too!!
That scoop shit is only good in apartments if you change the sand reular.
Also, a cat generally likes to do its business outdoors in the morning.

I have been having the exact same problem with my 17 year old cat for about a year now. Multiple vet visits have not uncovered any health problems.

Lots of good advice on here.

I do know if I pay more attention to her by talking to her and giving her lots of pets, she seems to do it less.

One vet said when they get older, they can get kind of lazy and don't feel like making the effort to get in the box.

Try cleaning the box out with Clorox, litter boxes are made of plastic and absorb odors over time and smells tend to offend cats. A good cleaning with Clorox will remove odors, anything else unwanted, and festering in the litter box.

It's probably trying to tell you that something is wrong with its health...take it to the vet

My cat isn't constipated. She has a diarrhea problem because she has to eat wet cat food because she no longer has teeth. However, if you do think your cat is constipated, give them a little coconut oil. They love it and it goes right through them. If they have a diarrhea problem, like my cat does, mix some kefir with the food.

WELLNESS Catfood.. it also has Cranberry in the food that will help with UTI

change the litter box and litter .... Put it in the kitty's special area... get some Catnip plants to put close to (not next)kitty box area ... kitty may need to get a little high after the throne time
