My little girl, Milukhu has been pooping mostly outside of the litter boxes for about 4 years now. She does the peeing fine. I've had her and her sister for about 5 years now. She just never liked pooping in the litter box. I tried everything to re-train her, asked vets, bought different litters, boxes, etc... and layed out newspaper, everything I could think of...for the most part, she still refuses to poop comfortably in the litter boxes. I have 4 of them for 2 kitties! Her sister, Bumpy never had an accident, and seems to love digging in the litter, which tells me that she's fine with the set up. I've been frustrated with my baby girl, Milukhu that seems to always be the one having issues. I love my baby, spoiled her to death, but I am kind of frustrated in having to clean this one specific rug that she often poops on. The vet told me to take her to a cat shrink... as nothing is wrong with her health. I really don't have any ideas lefts and my kitty would freak if I took her to see a shrink, away from her environment. She is scared of strangers, so I don't see how seeing a shrink will her. If anything, it might give her more stress.
Last week, she did poop in the litter box twice. I was estatic! But, now she's back to pooping on the carpet and rug. I don't know why she is doing this, since obviously she knows how to do it in the litter boxes. I always try to keep the litter boxes super clean as well. Please let me know if anyone would have any more ideas in helping me solve the mystery? Thanks so much.
