THE ONLY REASON I JOINED THIS SITE IS TO GIVE YOU SOME HELP ON YOUR CAT.THIS IS A HORRIBLE PROBLEM THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 46 YEARS OF OWNING A CAT, I HAVE EVER HAD THIS PROBLEM.



--I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH A TWENTY-FIVE POUND 2 YEAR OLD MAINE COON, HOMER. AS HE WOULD ONLY POOP OUTSIDE THE BOX SOMETIMES. I READ ALL OF THE INFORMATION ON THE WEB. I BOUGHT BOOKS. I TRIED IT ALL. I WENT TO THE VET. I FOUND THERE IS NOT A SIMPLE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM, EACH CAT IS DIFFERENT.



THE ANSWERS I GOT WERE:

1. TRY NEW LITTER, I BOUGHT THE MOST EXPENSIVE LITTER ON THE MARKET THAT PROMISED SUCCESS.

2. TRY 2 LITTER BOXES IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE HOUSE, AS SOME CATS WILL NOT POOP WHERE THEY PEE. SOME CATS WANT THEIR OWN LITTER BOX.

3. MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT USING CLEANSERS OF PERFUMES IN THE LITTER.

4. MAKE SURE YOUR CAT BOX AND WATER/FOOD ARE NOT CLOSE TO EACH OTHER.

NOTHING WORKED. . .

5. MAKE SURE YOUR LITTER BOX IS NOT COVERED.

6. MAKE SURE YOU CAT HAS ESCAPE ROUTES FROM HIS BOX.THEY DO NOT LIKE TO BE CORNERED WHILE THEY ARE DOING THEIR BUSINESS.



--WE FOUND THE ONLY WAY TO BREAK HOMER WAS TO FIRST FIND OUT WHAT TIME OF DAY HE POOPED (AS MOST CATS ONLY POOP ONCE A DAY)THEN LOCK HIM UP IN HIS OWN ROOM WITH NO TYPE OF CARPET OR MAT, WHICH WAS AT NIGHT. IT WORKED PERFECTLY. GOOD LUCK AND MAY GOD HELP YOU.
