My 16 year old cat has gotten progressively worse pooing around the house. She goes to the bathroom on everything almost 3 times a day and smears the poo. She will use the litter box to pee, not poop, and only 3 years ago always used the box for everything and we use the same litter.
She does have kidney issues so I don't know if it's related. When she goes her butt gets swollen and dark pink, and we just had her in the vet for all anal gland gunk she expressed a week ago and was doing fine until this week. The vets said nothing about her going on the floor. I thought she had constipation but whether the poo is hard or soft she goes to the bathroom wherever she is sitting and rubs her butt on the floor as she is going which is ruining the house. I'm out of ideas what to do as she is getting worse and the vets haven't helped!
