Cat throws poop out of litter box

Hi,

Brought new cat home last week - went great - last two days I have
found her poop on the floor beside the litter box. It is lightly
dusted with litter - so it is being thrown out of the litter box - any
ideas?

Thanks,

Suki

Get the high-sided box made for dogs, that has a little dip at the front
so the cat can get in without jumping. They are all different about this,
what you have is an enthusiastic digger/flinger! Petsmart has these.

I have to laugh. Levi did this the week before last--flung his poop all
the way across the bathroom, the little brat. He's quite an enthusiastic
digger, but thankfully it was a one time thing (so far).

I love that little ****(ter).

My geriatric cat seems to have decided that the bathroom floor is
where her poop belongs, she doesn't even try to do it in the box
(though she does pee there).

I'm not sure how to break her of that habit.

Hi,

Thanks - I will take a look tomorrow! It could be worse - she could
be a hockey player too!

I have a geriatric cat that does that, too. She always does it in the same
spot so I finally got "puppy pads" and put them on the floor in her corner.
She's very good about only going there. Didn't have much luck trying to get
her to use the box and I've tried a number of things.

Good luck!

How deep is the litter? If it is too deep, it could be hard for her to
balance in position. Just a random thought. MLB

I should try that again. I have a lot of cats and a myriad of boxes and I
have tried various combinations but it would be nice not to have to pick up
soaked pads all the time! She urinates a lot due to her kidney issues.
Thanks for the suggestion.
