Nope lol. Zoey has NEVER covered her poop. She is so weird, she will actually scratch all the litter to one side and POOP in the bare spot, scratch AROUND it but just leave it there lol.
Prego does this too, and he's about six. Polly covers it up or if I'm home I scoop it out right away because Prego's bombs are the worst!Originally Posted by fel-d1
Hi Sicycat,
How old is Zoey? Some people claims that their cat out grown this behavior. My Annahita actualy "try to cover" but she do it totally at the wrong place. She poops in the litter box but scratches somewhere outside the box
Yes, increasing the depth of the litter in the box.Originally Posted by fel-d1
Any experience or luck in changing this behavior?
I get real nervous when I see mine scratching the floor outside the box. It only happens when something about the floor has been changed--litter spilled, cleanser used on the floor, etc. Once I spilled out some smelly musty smelling liquid that had been lurking inside a steam cleaner and he was scratching away like mad--I was worried he was going to try and cover up that smell with his own so I got on it with lightning speed!Originally Posted by fel-d1

You might be onto something, my guys have had the same litter forever.. I am just too scared to change though lol.. plus I like my litter!Originally Posted by tempermiranda
We had a similar problem with our second cat Rajah. He is only about 16 weeks old and despite his attempts at covering, he always seemed to miss. Our older cat Baron (about 3) would come along and cover it for him occasionally, but he has since stopped. A few weeks ago we decided to try a different litter because we didn't think ours was working well enough, and lo and behold! As soon as we put the new kind in, Rajah did his business and covered it up perfectly. I don't know if it was because the new particles are much smaller, but it certainly seemed to do the trick. Thank God, because he is one smelly kitten!
