i need help. My cat won’t stop pooping on the floor and peeing in the bathroom sink.
I keep the litter box in the second floor bathroom that no one uses. My cats have a bathroom to themselves. It doesn’t matter if the litter box is new, old, clean, dirty, freshly scrubbed or has been only dumped and replaced with clean litter. She will always poop right next to the box or in front of it and pee in the sink. No where else. I’ve tried having multiple boxes and that doesn’t work either. I’ve tried repellents, deodorizers, different litters, tin foil where she likes to go. Nothing has worked. Her food and water are nowhere near the litter. She knows she’s doing something wrong because when she hears me walking she bolts out of the bathroom. I don’t hit her or scream at her when she does this I just go in and clean up after her. I’m sure she senses my exasperation at this point. I live alone and am more than 8 months pregnant. It’s getting really difficult to bend and kneel just to clean up after her several times a day. I can’t imagine it’ll be any easier once baby has arrived. I’m desperate to figure out what to do, otherwise it is with a heavy heart that i will have to give her up for adoption, which is absolutely not what I want to do.
Please, please, please out-of-the-box suggestions are also appreciated as the standard ones haven’t worked.
