... I have a generally well-behaved 8 year old cat when it comes to using her litter box. She has only urinated outside of it a a couple of times; however, although ocassionally (once. twice a month), she will poop outside of it. Usually, when she does this, it will be on one of our scatter rugs, and once or twice on our leather couch. We feed her dry organic cat food, her litter box (same litter for many, many years) is always clean, and she is in and has always been in excellent health. Why does she have these accidents? I'm interested in knowing some of the dynamics of this untoward behavior. Thanks, Adam Could also be stress related. A friend of mine has a cat who poops out of the box when he's feeling particularly uppity or just plain upset about something. |

Try taking the lid off. I have a large 17lb cat who will not use anything
covered. He prefers to balance on the edge of the box when he goes and it can't be done with a hooded box.

My kitty sometimes would dig her hole in the center, but then not deposit in it. She would be so close to the edge that whoops!!! Once I got a hooded box, she couldn't sit on the edge anymore. Try a phermone spray such as feliaway where the kitty has had accidents. Her box is hooded and large. Problem is not that she poops just outside the box, but rather in in appropriate areas. -- To email, erase "forgetit" |
