Well I'm so glad to find this website.
My cat's original owner died 6 weeks ago. and she is 12 years old, a grey himalayan, green eyes not blue.
She started pooping outsite the box, right away, then in the box, then in the kitchen where her food is. and in my living room, on my carpet. I have wall to wall. I was shocked. I have her a little over 6 weeks, she loves to play and eat. But her past owner was home everyday. I work 5 days a week. She has been to the vet. all is well. but her hind leg gives out. the vet thinks she hurt herself, being alone for 3 weeks, in the house she lived before me. Her owner went to the hospital and died there. So Dusty was alone for 3 weeks. Her son said someone went to clean out the litter box. But when we went to pick her up. there was poop right next to the box. which I thought was strange. Cats are clean.
A cat behaviorist told me she was in mourning for her orginial owner. and that's why she is pooping out of her box. He told me to place her treats where she poops, and use Nature's Miracle now I have three plates in my tiny kitchen. but, Since reading all of your stories, I think the only solution to my problem is putting the litter box in the kitchen, since, she is always doing it there. I have a small apartment. my kitchen is very small. I hope this will make Dusty happy. (and of course me) she is a very sweet cat, not a mean bone in her body. I brush her every night. she just tolerates it.
and then I give her, her favorite treats. she likes to lick my hair and face, in the morning, and when I come home from work. I really love this cat, and I hope this works. I used to be a dog groomer many years ago, so that helps in the grooming area. Well plese wish my luck. Bye for now.
