My cat boots has had a major pooping issure for a while now. It started when I moved into my new apartment, which was back in October. My apartment has 2 bathrooms, one for my roomate matt and I and the other is for our other roomate. He likes to poop on our bathmats for some reason.
When it first started, I thought he just did it when his litter box got too full as that seemed to be the only time he did it. Eventually he started doing it for no apparent reason, even when his litter box was fine. He also does this almost exclusively on the rug in the bathroom that belongs to my one roomate, not mine. Every once in a while however, if that bathroom door is shut he will do it in ours. We have started keeping our bathroom doors shut all the time, but it seems like now it's just a game for him wait for one of us to leave it open and he goes in and poops asap. He did it yesterday after I had left the bathroom door open for only 5 minutes. Lately it seems he only does it after I've just cleaned out his litter box which makes no sense to me. The other odd thing is that he sleeps on the rug in my bathroom a lot, so why would he want to poop on it? We have also tried replacing both bathmats in case he was smelling it even after washing, which didn't work.
There doesn't seem to be any reason or pattern to why he does it, so I have no clue. Help Please!
