Let me first introduce myself. My name is David and I'm from western PA. We have one cat, named Sassy, whom we've had since she was a kitten. She's about 14 or 15 and has a clean bill of health.
Her litter box used to be upstairs in our bathroom, and she'd use it without any problems, however when we remodeled our house we moved it downstairs, and that was about 10 years ago? Maybe less, or more, but it's been a long time since we moved it. I don't know when this started, but at some point she stopped pooping outside of the litter box. She pees inside, but poops right outside the box. We've been trying to get her to go inside the box, but we haven't had any success. We've cleaned the floors, painted them, tried new boxes and nothing works. Well now we remodeled our basements and we can't have her going to the bathroom on the floor, for about a week she pooped inside the box, but now is back to the floor. I've watched her a few times and she goes into the box and pees, but comes out, sniffs around and poops on the floor.
Are we doing something wrong, any ideas?
Thank you, David.
