Cat Chat Feline Forum

It definitely sounds to me like either she doesn't like the litter you are using, and you have mentioned you tried different types, but it might be worth trying more, even as far as putting down several trays each filled with a different type of litter, to see if there is one she obviously prefers....

If anything, she provokes him more than the other way round. She tried doing it when I was sitting on a couch nearby one time, which I thought was very odd. Ok this is still a big clue, she was there first and you got the boy after, is that right? If she is acting a bit territorial and provoking hi...

If she always goes in the same corner of the room, would it be possible to put a litter tray in that corner for her to see if she would use one there. Another thought is, I am assuming they are not allowed out from the way you talk, could it be that she is seeing another cat outside and feeling the...

It does sound more like a psychological issue than a litter box one to me. Where she does it - is it near to the front or back door? Near a window, or the doorbell, or some electrical item that makes noise or signals something about to happen? It it a strategic position where the other cat likes to...

you could try a tray containing potting compost, in case it's something in cat litter she doesn't like it's cheap enough and easy to dispose of outside Never heard of that idea - I'll give it a try! She does use the tray for peeing and sometimes for pooping, so I'm not sure if the litter is an issue.

Yes, it's the same one! She still yowls every now and then, but it's improved a lot. The pooping issue did not start around the same time. She's always yowled, but only started pooping outside the tray after about a year of being with us. I work from home, so am around both cats all day. They are no...

I'm running out of ideas for how to stop my cat from pooping on the carpet. She's a rescue and is about 3 or 4 years old. We've had her for almost 2 years. We have one other male cat who we got a couple of months after her, they get on just fine. For the first year her litterbox habits were great, b...

Hi We adopted our 2 year old tabby cat Olive about 4 months ago. Ever since we got her she's been yowling during the night and sometimes during the day. It doesn't last that long, but it's VERY loud. The sounds are quite elongated and like they're coming from deep in her throat, as opposed to normal...
