Hello,
I have a 1.5 year old cat who is showing a few cleaning issues.
When she pees and poops in the litter tray she will scratch the side of the plastic and even the floor outisde the tray but does not seem to be covering over her mess. If there a reason for this or can you suggest a way i can get her to?
Also, usually when i have had cats in the past after they poop and if there is any residual they will clean themselves. Mine has the unusual tendency to scoot on the carpet to wipe her bum. She only does this after going to the toilet and has been treated for parasites etc. so i do not think it is that, is there any way to discourage such behaviour?
Lastly, when a cat has finished eating they usually start to groom straightaway to clean themselves up. Again, my cat just starts playing almost immediately and only really cleans just before she wants to go to bed.
I am just wondering if anyone has advice as to what may be going on and ways to try and teach her better cleaning behaviours?
Many thanks.
