Cat Forum / General Topics / March 2006Mischu pooping in tub
I have a nine month old cat named Mischu. I got him when he was six months old from a breeder. We have one other cat who is to years old and she came from the same breeder. Mischu has a litterbox problem, he will pee in the box all the time but will not poop in it. I called my vet and they suggested putting him in a small room with food and a clean box for three days. I went out and bought him a dog crate so he gets fresh air and can see whats going on. I put him in the crate for a week. I would let him out every day as long as I watched him so he could run around. For the whole week he used the box flawlessly. Mon was the last day so I let him out and this morning he pooped in the tub again. I called the vet again and they said to put him back in the crate. I don't want to traumatize my kitten but the same time I don't want to have to bleach my shower every time I use it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thnaks-Lisa Get two litter boxes. Some cats prefer to pee in one and poop in the other. Since you have two cats, you should have two boxes anyways - you should always have at least one box per cat. Scoop them as many times a day as possible too. Some cats are fussier than others.

We scoop it a few times a day, change it twice a week, works perfectly well. > > Since you have two cats, you should have two boxes anyways - you should > > always have at least one box per cat. > > Why?

When we put two out, no one ever used the second one. Joan >Same here. And when we had three cats, we still had just one litter box. >When we put two out, no one ever used the second one. Most people who have 3 cats have at least 2 boxes. What if more than one of them has to go at the same time?

As a general rule, one tray per cat plus one extra is a good idea. Ivor >Why? We have two cats, one litter tray. We scoop it a few times a >day, change it twice a week, works perfectly well. So what happens when they both have to go at the same time? It's happened with mine.

I only have one cat, but I've still got a litterbox availability problem. Has anyone ever noticed that two minutes into the cleaning process, that's when your cat has to go? That's what my cat does. She waits for me to start cleaning the pan and then starts nosing around, mewing that there's no litter for her to use.

Ornery comes while I am cleaning the boxes and "bosses" me around. Then as soon as I am finished...He goes in the box....Yep...know what you mean! p.s. Ornery used to poop in the bathtub and on the floor next to the tub! I had washed the floor with detergent and sprayed deodorizer on the floor,too...that is when he started going in the tub. He stopped doing this after a while... >Has anyone ever noticed that two minutes into the cleaning process, that's >when your cat has to go? That's what my cat does.

I recently poured the used litter into a bag and went into the kitchen to throw it in the garbage. I come back and one of them is sitting in the empty box peeing!

One other thing too, I've noticed about my cat. Most times after doing her business in the litter, she hops out all full of energy, ready to zip around everywhere. I guess it's true that a good cleaning out gives you energy. <g> >>I have a nine month old cat named Mischu. I got him when he was six >>months old from a breeder.

Not the ideal solution, but it might help until he gets the idea he should use a pan. Good luck. MLB
