Hi All,
I've got two male kittens, about 10 months old. They're brothers, both fixed. We had an incident a couple of months ago where one of them urinated just outside the litter box. We kept an eye on him, but it didn't happen again, so we assumed it was a one time deal for whatever reason.
This morning we found that one of them (not sure which one) had pooped on our carpet. It was close to the litter box but not close enough that maybe they were in the litter box and had their butt hanging over the side.
Has anyone had this happen? Just a one-off of not using the litter box? They both seem healthy - running around and playing, and don't seem to strain when they use the litter box. A friend has suggested the litter box may not be clean enough for their liking, so I'm changing the litter out completely tonight.
Thanks for any suggestions!
