Cat poops when he doesn't get soft food
Hi everyone,
My cat Snowball and his brother Squirrell love getting soft food as a treat. My wife feeds them on a paper plate. Now, after several years of a routine, they beg everytime we go into the kitchen. My wife only gives them the food once per day. Snowball now wants soft food more often. Whenever we make food for ourselves or take out a paper plate, Snowball will beg for food. If it is not time for them to get soft food, Snowball will now poop in a corner of the living room. He has done this three times already. How do we get this to stop? We've thought of ending the soft food entirely, but I don't know if this will work. Thanks for any advice you may have! JL |

JL You need to get him checked. Any kind of elimination deviations can be indicative of an illness. It may indeed be related to wanting more food too, such as diabetes or thyroid problems. |

Im usually wrong, and the ladies are usally right, women seem to be more intuitive about these things. I read the OP as...cat poops when he doesnt get his way like: out with the dry..bring on the soft! lol you know a protest,lol |

JL Inappropriate pooping is often as a result of a medical problem. Have you had a conversation with your vet? |

It sounds like a spoiled cat if he only does it when he does not get his way
