If you recall, (probably not so I will refresh you) I write here a lot about my
cat that insists on going outside. He was a stray for awhile so I think it's just second nature to him. He does fine, stays close and there is a large yard next to our building he loves to play in. I did battle him about it for awhile but finally gave up, he's happier and my home is calmer when he gets to go out here and there. I live in the burbs but it's a quiet street and there are several indoor/outdoor cats around he gets along with fine.
Well my issue is I realize he is now pooping out there. I haven't scooped poop in days out of his box. If a dog owner left poop out they can get fined. So my question is am I doing anything "wrong" letting him out if he is pooping out there? He didn't used to do this until recently. I mean he has been going out for months and yet using the box here. I suspect he uses this yard I mentioned. Right now that house is vacant, but they are doing work on it and I understand someone bought it. So it will be lived in shortly.
Ugh is this a lose/lose situation?
