Hi all,
I have a year and a half old cat who, in the past few months, has stopped using his litter box for poop and now goes in our shower or on the bathroom floor. He does it in both of our bathrooms, including 3 feet away from his litter box. I have changed litter, changed litter box, cleaned his areas with bleach, with vinegar, with soap, put down aluminum foil, everything I can think of. He still ignores his litter box and goes to the floor. I have put his poops into the litter box and shown it to him and put his paws in the litter, to no avail.
He is completely healthy; has no mobility problems at all (tramples through the apartment all the time). I cannot be awake and at home 24 hours a day to try and catch him in the act, so I am getting very frustrated and losing hope. This is unacceptable behavior, but I cannot find a way to get him back to his litter box.
PLEASE someone help! What on earth can we do to have a sanitary home with a cat that seems to ignore "instinct?"
