    My cat has "elevator butt" after purchasing a new litter box

    He hasn't done it in other areas before as far as I am aware of, only the wall next to his box, albeit he is inside the box when he does this. I moved it more away from the wall and he pee'd in the box just fine this morning, although he seems to not do it consistently every time even when the...

    My cat has "elevator butt" after purchasing a new litter box

    The box he currently uses is 10 inches high and he clears it pretty easily. The box the behviorist told me to use was only 6 inches high but now he is doing it in the high box and I literally think he learned it from using the smaller box because that was the first time hes done that and its...

    My cat has "elevator butt" after purchasing a new litter box

    If you've seen my long thread from last year about my cat Pepper you would know that I have been struggling with him pooping on the couch or on my bed. When I took him to the vet they said he was constipated and ever since then he would do it every 2 months or so - I assume he just gets...

    My cat keeps pooping outside of his litter box but urinating in it

    The other part that confuses me is I've asked people at work if their cats have had a problem like this and they tell me not only do they never throw up or poop out of the box - they dont even feed their cat wet food. I read the article you provided but if all of that is true then why do their...

    My cat keeps pooping outside of his litter box but urinating in it

    Kind of sick of taking these cats to the vet to treat their constipation and then they just say hes not constipated if he pooped. It makes it impossible to solve the problem when nobody can agree on what the problem is. For some reason she never suggested adding more moisture or Miralax - just...

    My cat keeps pooping outside of his litter box but urinating in it

    This morning I saw Nico try to poop in his box and noticed he was having a hard time getting it all out. He pooped two little pieces and then came out of the box with some stuck in his butt about the size of a jawbreaker. I knew he was going to scoot so I grabbed a paper towel and tried to help...

    My cat keeps pooping outside of his litter box but urinating in it

    It longer than his brothers but on the shorter side in general compared to most cats. I'll attach a picture so you can tell me your opinion of it.

    My cat keeps pooping outside of his litter box but urinating in it

    I can. He just pooped again, this time in his box, but I didn't see him scoot this time. When I first brought him from my dads apartment to mine over a year ago, I found a few pieces on the carpet one morning and figured he was getting used to his new box and he dragged it out. Now I think he...

    My cat keeps pooping outside of his litter box but urinating in it

    Do cats produce more hair in the cold winter months than they do in the summer? Seems like this problem started in November when it started getting cold.

    My cat keeps pooping outside of his litter box but urinating in it

    I didn't want to feed anymore of the Friskies to them so I had no way of slowly introducing it. Should I not feed him anymore wet food and just keep him on dry food only for the time being?

    My cat keeps pooping outside of his litter box but urinating in it

    I came home from work today to find smear marks all over my carpet. It looks like one of my cats was scooting across the floor to remove the poop stuck in his fur/anus. The only thing I changed was giving him Miralax daily 1/4 tsp and yesterday I gave him some new wet food for the first time...

    Friskies canned food

    Based on the reports I've read on the Consumer Affairs website many people already have reported this to Friskies/Nestle and have gotten nothing but some coupons to buy more of their "poison". Makes me sick that people would knowingly let this happen. Heres the link, see for yourselves. Top 695...

    Which cat food?

    I'm a believer of the phrase "where theres smoke there is fire". Perhaps not all cats have a problem with Friskies but why risk it when there are so many other types to choose from - maybe its only the ones from certain plants where they are produced? Theres no way everyone is in on it like some...

    Friskies canned food

    So I have been feeding my cats Friskies Shreds variety pack for the last few months and ever since then they seem to have more problems throwing up and pooping where they aren't supposed to. I decided to see if there was any information online about that specific wet food and I seem to have...

    My cat keeps pooping outside of his litter box but urinating in it

    I read a couple things online saying that people are having a problem feeding their cats Friskies wet food - specifically with lot numbers 1161 and 1159. That is the exact wet food I feed them and when I looked at the lot number it was 1159 on all the cans since they all came from the 32 count...

    My cat keeps pooping outside of his litter box but urinating in it

    Well in a strange turn of events I just witnessed him poop in his box - I did not replace it this time to see what he would do so its the same box as before. You see, last time he did this a month ago I just replaced the box that night because thats what got him to stop the first time, at least...

    My cat keeps pooping outside of his litter box but urinating in it

    I started only giving him 1/8 of a tsp twice a day but then I moved it to 1/4 tsp twice a day once I went back to the vet and she told me it was ok up the dosage. I put it in a tiny bowl and stirred it then put it in with his wet food. I'm not 100% convinced of what it is I'm just saying thats...

    My cat keeps pooping outside of his litter box but urinating in it

    1.) I tried adding a box in the living room for 2 days and he never used it. I then moved it to the same room as the other box and he did use it once but then didnt poop for 8 days after until I removed the old box he stopped using from the room leaving only the 1 new box. Makes no sense at all...

    My cat keeps pooping outside of his litter box but urinating in it

    I bought some spray that was supposed to calm him down and used it on him before the last vet visit. Unfortunately it had zero effect as he acted the same way he did the first time. He actually screamed so much the second time that foam started coming out of his mouth. I think the brand was...
