I have had my cat for 3.5 years. I adopted her at 3 weeks and got her at 10 weeks. For the first two years she pooped and peed in the litterbox. Now she poops outside of the box. For awhile it was right outside the box, I had a litter mat and have switched to towels. With the towels she covers it up. But recently this past week she has pooped in a different location. I have tried cat attract. I also have another cat and have two litterboxes in different locations. I just washed out the litterbox and put in new litter. I've been locking her up in my bathroom with the litterbox when I'm not home. But I've noticed that she is pooping by my shower and nowhere near the box/towel. When this first started (1.5 years ago) I took a sample of her poop to the doctor's and everything checked out fine. I was living in an apartment when this started and for a year now live in a house I purchased and she still continues to do this.

What else can I try? My aunt had the same problem with a kitten she had gotten. We actually got our cats from the same foster home and they both started outside the litterbox about the same time and they were a few months apart. My aunt in the meantime has had to put the cat down because the cat had diarrhea and pooped everywhere, where as my cat at least has been keeping it in the same location and it's just drops and is easy to pick up. I'm at a loss and don't know what else to do.

Thanks.

what's UTI? And no I haven't. I'll have to talk to the vet again. Do you think her anal glands need to be cleaned?
