Hello!
I have a 6 year old Siamese Point Lynx who, over the past 3 months or so, has been pooping outside of the box. He does this under certain parameters.
Here is a description of when he will go outside of the box:
- usually early morning, between 5:30 and 6:30
- my husband and I are home
- he scratches the tile floor or door obsessively before he goes (it’s his tell and we’ve been able to jump out of bed, catch him in the act, and put him in his litter box).
- he will still poop and pee in his box during the day or when my husband and I are at work/out.
His box is cleaned daily, we use unscented litter, we have not changed his food or routine. This is so out of character. The only other time he has ever acted this “crazy” was when he self mutilated (pulled out his own fur) but that resolves years ago with homeopathic anxiety drops that he still takes today.
Any advice would be appreciated! It’s so frustrating for us and I’m sure for my cat, too.
