Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / February 2007Cat 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 > Hi, > > Brought new cat home last week - went great - last two days I have > found her poop on the floor beside the litter box.

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.  SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com > what you have is an enthusiastic digger/flinger! 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 sh.t(ter). SignatureLynne 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.

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.

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 have a geriatric cat that does that, too.

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.

It could be worse - she could be a hockey player too! |
