A couple of months ago my 9 year old female cat began to defecate in the floor evrey once in a while. I have a 10 year old male cat, but I knew it wasn't him because Lucy has gone through phases where she's done this before. She's finicky, so I cleaned the litter box. It didn't help. She has only gotten worse. She's doing it more often and is not bothering to try to be secretive about it anymore. She unloaded in the dining room tonight while I was not far away in the kitchen cooking. What can I do? I am at my wits end with her! Before this, I had to endure months of her urinating in the floor, now this. She still uses the litter box occasionally, but sometimes will defecate right next to it! HELP!!!

Illness causes this behavior most often. Take her to the vet, she may have a UTI or IBS, lots of things that are easily treated. Good luck!

the actuality that the vet unearths no actual subjects is enormous! It additionally skill you may look elsewere. while did this initiate? What adjustments befell around a similar time? some thing as remarkable as changing manufacturers of clutter (or the clutter pan) could make a cat do remarkable issues. keep in mind they place self assurance in scent ALOT. Their scent markes possession. If her clutter pan replaced into her's on my own earlier the toddler moved in it would desire to be it. Thik approximately it and that i'm particular you will arise with some thing. There was once a product (Repell or Animal Away) that's a powder which you will sprinkle on the bathing room carpet or around the threshhold of your mattress room door to maintain the cats out. There are some abode remidies that do a similar ingredient. sturdy luck!

Sounds like you need to get her to the vet.

It needs to take a dump.
Once you have the cat stuffed, it will not cause you any problems.
