I swear, if it's not one 'poop issue', it's another. I've finally succeeded in getting my Ragdoll, Brody's, stools normal (see my previous threads if you're confused), and now this.
I guess I shouldn't say now this though, as they (we have 2 Ragdolls) have done this before on occasion. But now it's just Brody, and it's a daily occurrence. It's been going on and off for a couple months now, and he seems to go in spurts of doing it, for no apparent reason.
At first I thought it was because he was being picky about his litter box. Brody eats in my bathroom for meals (have to separate all the cats during feeding), so the door is shut during that time. I thought I solved the problem by scooping if there was any poop before I locked him in there, but then he did it a few more times even with the box was clean.
This was happening before I switched over to the Breeze litter boxes, so I don't think it was the litter change that set him off.
We have another bathroom, and I've already resorted to just keeping that door shut at all times now because of this (he was doing it in that bathtub as well). I can't do that with my bathroom, due to the litter box being in there, and it'd just be inconvenient for me to be honest. He hasn't resorted to going in my parents shower yet, and I'm praying he won't.
Anyway, my only solution so far has been to fill my bathtub up with water til it covers the entire bottom. It works, but I feel like it's really wasteful of water (not that I'm the most energy, etc. conscious person in the world, but still), and would like to try something else. It seems like once I break the 'cycle' for a few days, he'll stop for awhile, then poof, starts up again.
I really can't think of any reason he does this. It's like it's a fetish of his or something
I keep telling myself that if he's going to go somewhere other than the litter box, at least it's the bathtub! But still, it's super annoying, and just gross. Does anyone have any suggestions?
