He only poops when the door is open, other than that he uses his littler box. ( little box is cleaned 2 x a day.) He does this even when we wash and bleach the rug. WHY!

* Did not have little box in the bathroom.* I think he does this because he gets so spoiled and when he doesn't get his way he does this out of spite. *

The rug backing has a chemical quite often that smells like pee to a cat. It's too subtle for humans to smell but it's very strong to a cat's nose, and some decide that it's ok to poop there because it already smells like the litter box. Even washing the rug won't affect the manufacturing smell that's on it.

It is probably behavioral. Did you used to have the litter box in the bathroom? Have you made any big changes lately? Cats have the emotional level and brain capacity of a 2 year old, they hate change and most do not adapt very well. You need to try to think of anything you have done that might have thrown your cat off balance of his regular routine. Until then keep the door closed!

GREAT name!
Some cats seem to take issue with what they consider unusual things lying on the floor. Remove the rug; if it's a bath mat keep it over the edge of the tub until you need to use it.

I don't know but I LOVE the cat's name. Do you have an Odie too?
