I've had my cat for ... God I don't know, something like 11 years? I found him hiding in a bush when he was a kitten, only a few weeks old. He has a skiddish nature, but at night when it's quiet he can be a rather affectionate kitty.
He's having problems with his litter box. Or rather, I'm having problems with him and his litter box.
1) He never covers up his pee and poo, so it smells bad before it should. This is a problem because the only place I can keep his box is in my bedroom closet. It's not the most ideal location, but I have a roommate so I keep it in my room out of consideration for my roommate.
2) He gets litter all over the hard wood floor in my closet when he gets out of his box. It drives me nuts because when I shower and go to my closet for clothes, I get cat litter stuck on the bottom of my feet. Yuck!
I've tried giving him a bigger cat box, thinking maybe he needed more room to do his business since he's a rather big cat.
I've tried a few different kinds of litter, but I finally settled on the one that is easiest to scoop since none of them seemed to change his behavior. He seems indifferent to what litter I use.
I've tried one of those place mat things that are designed to catch the litter on his paws, but he jumps over it because he doesn't want to walk on it. Now litter still gets everywhere...except the place mat I bought for him. I'm halfway considering walking on the cat's place mat since it's the only place there ISN"T litter
He's just hard headed and I don't know how to make him behave the way I want him to. Help!
