Anybody's cat do this?

I figure it's not a medical issue since he does use the box. Any suggestions? Melisande does that occasionally, too - even immediately after it's been scooped out (and the box is certainly large enoough). She will scratch in it enthusiastically, then position herself so the crucial portion of her anatomy is aimed just outside the rim of the box. (If I happen to be there at the same time, I can give her a slight nudge before she gets to work, but otherwise.....) I don't have room for a covered box where I live now, but next time I move I think I'll try one. |

I think the box is big enough. It's a covered box 'cause he used to
hang his butt over the side. I've seen him squat outside to dirty so it's not 'cause he's hanging over the side. I may try one of those plastic garment containers, see if that makes a difference. Someone mentioned about him "thinking outside the box". I almost put that in my post she was referring to! Thanks, Theresa EvelynVogtGamble(Divamanque) wrote: theresa wrote: My male cat, Jake, has gotten into the habit of pooping right outside the litterbox.

Chloe digs to China, I swear, and litter goes EVERYWHERE - even in a covered box! Fin was a serious scratcher, and anywhere the litter box was quickly became a desert. A covered litter box solved most of that problem. They make covered litter boxes really large today, so size won't be a problem. Jane - owned and operated by Princess Rita |
