I have 3 kittens who are all seven months old. We got them from the same litter and they all look identical. But one of my boys, Oliver, has never pooped inside a litter box. When we contacted our vet about it she told us that he might just not like the way that the litter feels on his feet or bottom. The other two kittens, Zazu and Bailey don't seem to care what litter we put in the box, thank god since we have been changing the type of litter everytime one runs out. It's not like Oliver doesn't know where the litter box is, he uses it to pee in and then poops on the floor right in front of it. We have tried almost all of the litter that both of our near by Walmarts supply. We have moved on to buy litter at our local Ocean State Job Lot, Petco, and PetSmart. None of the litters that we have tried have changed it. I'm starting to worry that he doesn't use the litter box because he's the "alpha" or so our vet says. I was wondering if anyone else has this problem or if anyone has any suggestions on how to solve it. All suggestions are welcomed and gratefully appreciated!
Thanks so much,
A very in need cat owner and her very hopeless kitten.
