The title almost sums it up...
Our kitty is a spayed female, about 2 years old. We adopted her about 6 months ago, and I bet I can guess why someone put her out.
She knows she's supposed to go in the litterbox, and she normally does, but if there's poop in it she'll just sniff at her box and go pee on the carpet instead. We live in an apartment, so this is especially a problem.
I try really hard to keep her box clean and scoop it at least once a day. Right now I'm not working, but my husband and I are moving soon and I'll be getting a job. What's going to happen when I'm not home all day to keep the box immaculate??
Another thing is that she doesn't always cover up her poop with litter. I think that could contribute to the problem. There's plenty of litter in there for her to cover it up, so I have no idea why she would cover it up sometimes and not others.
I'm hoping in our new apartment we'll have space for a second litterbox. Right now our apartment is small and I don't know where we'd fit a second one. I will try doing that after we move in a couple weeks.
Any other suggestions?? Just today I caught her as she started to squat on the floor.
