My cat, which recently gave birth to 7 kittens, has begun having issues with not using the litter box. It started out a few days after she gave birth with her defecating in the bathtub. This was a nightly occurrence for a few days. She then started switching between the tub and the bat mat.
I clean her litter pan daily and even cleaned the pan with disinfectant. I have not changed her litter type or brand. I even bought a new litter pan and placed it in another spot, leaving her old one in its original location.
She thanked me by leaving a pile in the middle of the living room floor. With this be a carpeted area itâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s a lot more involved to clean up. After working half the day shampooing the carpets I came in this evening to find a new pile on the other side of the living room. It seems to me that she is trying to piss me off.
She still uses her litter pan, as I clean both clumps of urine and stool from it daily. Right now I have had no choice but to lock her and her litter pan and food in the room she choose to give birth in. This is a large unused room in my basement in which she seems totally happy. Itâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s just that I would like to allow her to roam the house as she always did without having to clean up after her. As of now she is going to stay locked in her room until her kittens are old enough to find homes. Trust me, I plan to have her fixed as soon as she is done nursing. That is if I can put up with her for that long. Please any ideas would be helpful. I am open to try any suggestions.
