My wife and I are desperate for help. We have a 13 year old cat (which we have been pet-sitting for 7 years when she was left with us) and don't know what to do. In the past 2-3 months our cat has lost 5 pounds (from 15 down to 10) and she has been having diarrhea all over the house and has ruined the carpet in 2 rooms (we have been successful in cleaning the carpet in the others so far.) She will pee in the litter box, but not poo, and we keep the box very clean. We have introduced a second litter box near the first, and a third downstairs, but it has not helped. She not only goes on the floor, but anything we may have on the floor (papers, clothes, shoes) We have spent $2000+ at the vet (including a second opinion from another vet) for every test imaginable, including abdominal ultra sounds and x-rays, and they can not find anything wrong with her. We have a small townhouse so we do not have a basement or garage for her to live in. We love our cat, but she is destroying our house and we can not live in poop forever.

Food: Science diet adult light (recommended by the vet)
Litter: Tidy Cat clumping (we have also tried arm and hammer unscented non clumping)
Pets: We have a second cat (5 yrs old - no problems)
Both cats indoor only
