One of the big brands of dry cat food are selling an "indoor" formula so our cat won't eat the house plants. Well, yeah. But not cooked onion. Does he let you pick him up yet? When a good time comes, take him upstairs for the night. It's too far from his kitty door. It's really quite a long way for him to get outside if he has to go. I could put a litter box up there, but this evening he pooped on the rug again -- right while I was sitting here at the computer. I just smelled it, got up, walked out of the computer room and there he was, just walking away from it. He had been lying out there for the past couple of hours. Looks like he just got the urge, stood up and did it right where he was. I used a pretty angry tone of voice and I think he realized I was not happy. Not sure if he'll connect the anger with what he did. I'm becoming really concerned. How do you housetrain an old cat who may have never lived indoors? He has never used the litterbox I set out for him. Maybe re-training is in order. If you can pick him up, carry him to then litter pan and place him in it. Then take his paw and make scratching motions with it. Place your hand on his lower back and gently push it into sitting position. On the other hand if he is becoming incontinent -- then he cannot help it. My Siamese lost control of the urine shortly before her death. I wish you good luck. It is hard to see a loved pet fail.
