This actually is about my MIL's cat, Itty-Bitty. He's about 6-7 and just recently started pooping under the bed. Not anywhere else in the house, just under the bed. He does still use the litterbox too. He seems to do this when she isn't home. Nothing has changed in the house, litterboxes are cleaned regularly, litter is the same, her schedule hasn't changed where she's gone more than before. The dogs are crated or barricaded in the kitchen when she is gone. We just don't understand it.
On thing though...Itty Bitty isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. In fact, he's down right stupid. He will be sitting on the windowsill and just fall off for no reason. He always has. I hate to say that any cat is stupid, but he truely is. We thought it might be a medical condition but she had him to the vet a few weeks ago and he's perfectly healthy.
I sent her links for Cat Attract to use in the litter box. The only other thing I can think of is aluminium foil under the bed. Even if it doesn't keep him from getting under there at least it's easier to just pull the foil out and toss it than climbing under the bed to clean every night. Closing the bedroom door isn't an option because that is HIS domain and the only place he really goes to get away from the other cats, dogs, people, etc.
Any suggestions of why he suddenly started doing this and how to stop it?
