Greetings all,
My cat is a one year old Siamese mix who can't seem to poo in the litter box. Urinating is no problem, she goes right for the box then, but can't for the life of her poo in the right place.
I've had her for about a month and she's very comfortable with everything in the house and doesn't show any signs of being unhappy. She's well taken care of and gets plenty of attention.
She'll poo usually within inches of the box on either side, but occasionally it'll be next to the bathroom door around six feet away from the box.
At first I thought maybe it was an attention seeking thing because I always come home from work to find poo on the floor, but she did it tonight while I was home after being played with for an hour.
The litter box is regularly cleaned and restocked with fresh litter (though I don't think she's pooed in the litter box once since I've had her).
I'm considering changing litter or getting a second box, but I'm afraid that would confuse her so bad that it wouldn't matter.
Right now I'm frustrated beyond belief with this. Coming home to clean cat
after a long day is NOT what I intend to do. She'll be locked in the bathroom tonight until I'm less irritated.
Any ideas, suggestions... something?
Thanks.
