Hi everyone,
I have a 5 yr old kitty named mao. For the past two or three weeks Mao wasnt the litter box to poo but no one figured it out because she was hiding it all under an un-used guest bed....(I only happened to look there because I was looking for a missing book and...the surprise was not pleasant) The poops were hard and had no odor. I took her to a vet who checked her out and pronounced that she was healthy and that she may only have been scared by the litter box (due to possible constipation at some point in the past weeks or so). He suggested to put her in a small room with the litter box for a day. I followed the advice and got no results. She did not use the litter box at all. Vet suggested to keep her there for more then a day. I put her in there for two days and she pooped all over the floor but not in the litter box. So far she has not peed anywhere other then the litter box. Today she was walking around and started to squat so I yelled NO and grabbed her and took her to the litter box. Put her in the litter box and she promptly jumped out and pooped on the floor. I picked up the poop and put it in the litter box. She didnt even watch me. Five seconds later she pooped again. My question is. Should I use a smaller cage? (which i dont want to ) or leave her in the bathroom longer?(which i dont think will work) My mom wants me to get rid of her. I dont really think that is an option. Please help!
