To the cat experts of GLP let me axe a question....
I have a long haired cat, believe he's a Norwegian forest cat from my research. He's 3 and was a shelter adoption. No issues with him aside from the fact he refuses to bury his poo. And that stench would take the varnish off a foot locker. I've had him checked and he's perfectly healthy.

Any idea's WHY he's not burying his crap? The other cat won't do it for him either not that I'd expect him to, but still, there are times I can smell it upstairs as the boxes are down in the basement.

It's like a combo of bad parmesan and blue cheese. Gag-worthy indeed.

Expecting a ton of shitty responses for this post, but seriously, any input or your own experience is appreciated.

Lol all cats have their personalities, it's unusual that he refuses to bury his shit, but you just got a cat that has that mod.

Don't feel bad, my cat will jump in his litter box and pee outside of it like a fucking Moran.

Do you clean the litter box frequently ie daily? It will help. Otherwise, just make sure you either cover it yourself immediately, or better yet, put it into a plastic bag and put in outside trash. If the litter is flushable, just flush it away as soon as you smell it.

I had a cat that did that when it got older. I bought one of those large litter boxes with a lid that they have to climb down into and it solved the problem, thank god.

This one to be exact. It worked great. Clevercat top entry litter box.

My cat does the same disgusting thing - refuses to bury it. I read somewhere it's a sign that he's unhappy and not afraid of me. More or less I'm the lesser species to him bc I'm covering his shit for him

Some cats cover, some don't. It's said that if a cat doesn't, they're secure in their surroundings and don't feel threatened by predators.

1. Litter aversion

Your cat might have an aversion to the litter....

2. Size of the box

Simply put, bigger cats will need a bigger box. A large cat may feel too confined in their box, so moving up in size to a larger box may help.

3. Location

Where you place the litter box can be very important for some cats. This is because some cats prefer the litter box to be more private....

Re: To the cat experts of GLP let me axe a question....
We have a giant Norwegian Forest Cat, 22 pounds,
strong as an ox and solid as a rock, and since
he was "little" he quit crapping in the litter box
altogether. He follows me into the bathroom
and craps on the floor while I'm doing my business.

He DOES pee in the box though. Thank God!

We've tried EVERYTHING, and finally just accepted
this behavior. Other than this he's a sweet, gentle
moose, with a coat so long it drags on the ground,
a lion's mane, and pretty as can be.

He never claws the furniture and he's a GREAT mouser
so sometimes you just have to live with
another's idiosyncracies.
That's what my wife tells me.

Yes but the point is I don't know he's done the deed until the stench hits the upstairs boxes are in the basement. Seems like I'm not the only one, thanks for everyone who responded, just gonna have to deal with it I guess.

Is your cat declawed? Sometimes cats don't like the coarseness of the litter on their paws.

It could also be a form of marking their territory, using feces instead of urine.

Re: To the cat experts of GLP let me axe a question....
Just buy an automatic litter box. When the cat enters the box, it breaks a beam, then when he leaves, the box rakes itself and scoops the poo into a little bag and seals it up.

They work great. We've been using one for years. No more stinky poo.

If you haven't, add a 2nd litter box away from the other box.. I have read that regardless of the size of the box 2 cats prefer and do better with the ability to use 2 litter boxes.

GOOD advice! I would never use the clay type litter or the new fake, "litter light" with very tiny plastic balls mixed with the sand. Just my opinion but the sand-like litter is the only way to go...

If more than 1 cat, get separate boxes for them. One box will be #1 and the other will be #2. They somehow prefer it that way.

If you had him declawed that could be a reason, or the litter is to fine or course. Cats that have been declawed receive pain from digging in course litter.

I believe this is the reason. While I have no scientific proof, the fact he tries to dominate the other male cat in the house with wrestling, biting, pouncing, and he doesn't always win, letting his crap get air time to say "mine stinks worse" would not surprise me and makes sense.
