The stray cat I'm trying to adopt seems uninterested in his litter box when I pick him up and place him in there. He's getting neutered tomorrow so I hope that helps... anyone have good or bad experiences trying to do the same thing ?
Its surely some sort of ownership marking. Perhaps she smells scent of some other cat nearby. Or even mices. And she wants to show of its HER food, not anybodys elses.She went in her litter box once and then I went to check on her an hour ago... and the weirdest thing.. there was a piece of poop in her food bowl on top of her food! Why would she do that? She let me brush her and absolutely loved it she even rolled over on her belly. She has curly belly hair
Have perhaps her food raised up on somtheing, where she can easily jump up, but no mices nor rats can climb up.There's definitely a mouse in my garage so maybe that's why!
That is such good news! I hope she has a loving happy furever home!Happy to say she's been adopted today by a great couple+
What is he sick in? My first reaction when I saw your post was, his mistrating of the eliminating is because of him being sick. Quite a few sick cats dont manage to use the litterbox properly. Compare with sick humans, who often do on themselves in the trousers.
. I have one kitten that I am having trouble getting to use the box but he's currently sick so I clean up the mess and take him back to the box to show him.
He seems to like urinating and defecating on my couch. I have to keep spraying the couch down because of him urinating on the fabric. Thankfully a while back I put garbage bags over my cushions and he is only defecating on the cushions so it's easy to wipe off then sanitize. This one is stubborn so I'm hoping I can find a way to get him to finally use the box. I have two boxes set up at the moment and will look into another if needed. I keep the boxes cleaned but it's hard to keep up with these pooping machines.
