So one of my cats would rather poo in the corner of the room instead of using his litter box. He'll pee in there just fine (I think), but if the box has been used, or just a tad stinky he'll poo on the carpet, pretty consistently on one spot. Currently he has two boxes, or I just have three boxes out for two cats and they seem to use whatever suits them at the moment.
So is he just overly cleanly, or is it something I should get checked out? Seems like if I put just a handful of litter in the box and dump it out every time he uses it and replace it with fresh litter I can get him to use the box regularly which suggests to me that it's just him, but wanted to get a second opinion. Kinda makes it rough since I have to resort to locking him up in the bathroom while I'm out and he doesn't seem to like that too much, he starts to yowl pretty loud.
