My cat is messing in the house!?

Question

Dill is 15. For the last few years he has been a bit unpredicatable with his toilet habbits but now you have to watch the little monkey all the time. He will trot off to our hall or bathroom and squat down pee or poo. He has access to a cat flat and goes out but has been known to come in to do it! He also meows sometimes if he is alone in a room like he is in agony you open the door and all ok. With have got a coal shed and he has messed in there too its discusting. We have tried him with a tray which he will use if he feels like it but would rather do elsewhere! He appears healthy. Can cats go demented? I don't feel that he should be shut out as too old but I have a young baby and obviusly conserned about health. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Oh goodness, I just answered this question but it has not registered,so I start again! Dill is getting older like my cat Czarina but they are still intelligent.
I would suggest getting some anti clumping litter and putting it in a tray. Don't put lot of cat litter in! Use a big plastic storage box, its better then a shallow tray.This is important, then stand it on a good supply of newspaper. When you see that Dill has used the tray clean it up!
Then she needs to be stimulated, cats sleep so long in the winter. Just get any old piece of paper; wrap it round with string or wool and then fly it around for a few mins, repeat when you have time!!

Hope that the new baby is well!

My wee cat does this aswell, she's always out and theres the litter tray for my house cat but she'll still wee in the house. She must just not want to go out at that time so does her business in the house. She's a weird cat tho, so i just put it done her bein a weirdo haha! I love cats really!!

If I were you, I would take my cat to the vet. Toilet habits that are not regular are usually a sign of a health problem.
