Unfortunately once they start it can quickly become a pattern urinating small amounts in very specific areas around the house.
Radosta recommends identifying the pattern for anxiety or stress and eliminating the stressor.
I took him to the vet because i thought he may be constipated.
She has been house trained since she was 4 months old with no accidents.
It s a frustrating smelly and all around unpleasant turn of events.
I started cleaning the litter box more thoroughly and more often.
Since november 2013 our 11 year old female cat has started going to the toilet in our house.
My cat started pooping in the house.
If your dog poops in a random area of the house it may be caused by diarrhea or something uncontrollable.
We have a question from a lady who s cat started pooping in the house suddenly when she normally goes to the toilet outside.
The general rule is to have one litter box plus an extra for one cat.
Clean the box.
I have a cat that has started pooping outside the litter box on my living room floor.
So this could be a reason why your cat has started pooping on the floor.
First and foremost scoop clumps from the litter box daily and deep clean it frequently.
He will poop a little in the box but just a little.
She went into her first heat about a week and a half ago and the last 4 or 5 nights she has been peeing on the bedroom floor while we sleep.
Fortunately if your kitty is healthy you can probably stop this unwanted behavior by changing up things in your bathroom and making the litter box more inviting.
If you have a multi cat household then each cat should have 2 litter boxes.
You see cats tend to pee in one and poo in another.
It may even cause other household dogs and sometimes cats to mark the areas as well.
However if your dog keeps on pooping in the same place in the house one can conclude that your dog has a predilection to defecate in this specific place such as on a rug in the bathroom or on the terrace.
This means jettisoning the old litter scrubbing the empty box with mild dish soap and warm water rinsing it with clean water letting it air dry and pouring in a fresh supply of clean unscented litter sometimes scented litter is unappealing to finicky cats.
If your dog is already trained to go outside and he or she has suddenly started pooping indoors it is best to consult with a vet first to rule out any of the above causes.
Here is the message and my answer below.
There are a few explanations as to why your cat might suddenly have abandoned its litter box and started pooping in the shower bathtub or sink.
