Hello!
A little over a month ago, I adopted a 9 year old cat. For the first three weeks, he was eliminating entirely in his litter box with no problems.
About a week or so ago, he pooped on the basement carpet. The next day, he was fine and went in the litter box for a few days until the next poop.
After the second time, he began using the litter box again with no issues.
However, last night he urinated on the carpet. It was cleaned up and the carpet was steam cleaned and we blocked his access to this room.
This morning, I found a very small amount of poo in a different room, but he had used the litter box to poo and urinate in.
His litter box is cleaned twice daily. He has no problems with his litter box or the litter used, as he doesn't eliminate entirely onto the carpet. He is healthy and is the only animal in the house. Why would he be doing this, and what can I do to prevent him from using the bathroom on the carpet? Thank you!
