Cat Forum / General Topics / March 2005Cat pooing on the floor
Hello, Recently my cat seems to have taken to pooing on the floor right next to his litter tray. This appears to be independent of how dirty / full the litter is, and we haven't changed his food lately. The only correlation appears to be that he only does it when we aren't around, e.g. when we're at work or asleep. Other times he uses the litter as normal. Does anyone know why he might be doing this? He hasn't been castrated yet, but will be this week. > Hello, > Recently my cat seems to have taken to pooing on the floor right next to his [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Does anyone know why he might be doing this?

Be on the lookout for subtle signs of illness..." Including... "Cats that repeatedly defecate outside the box may be suffering from a disease of the large intestine."

I know that some cats do not like to "step in" their own used litter pans. If I don't clean out my cats litter pans after they are finished with it, they will poop on the floor next to it. Also, my cats use the one for urinating, and the other for defecating. It doesn't seem to matter which one is where, they will still use the one for one job, and the other for the other job. Pernifity little devils. LOL Our guy will miss the box if it hasn't been cleaned. He hates to step on anything that's not clean & will squat off to the side. > > Hello, > > Recently my cat seems to have taken to pooing on the floor right next to his [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > one is where, they will still use the one for one job, and the other for > the other job.
