My Marlee is a 10 yr old cat I adopted when she was just about 6 wks old. She has always been a skittish/shy cat but is very loving with me and my husband.
We had a son a little over 2 yrs ago, plus we moved into a new house a few weeks before that. (She had been through the multiple moves before with no issues). Ever since then she has occasionally been pooping outside her box...usually in the same 2-3 places. My husband is threatening to get rid of her if we can't fix this, but I don't know what else to try.
Her and our other cat have 2 rooms that are blocked by baby gates to keep our son out. There are 3 boxes, all in different locations of the house. Litter type doesn't seem to make a difference. I don't think it's a cleanliness issue, bc sometimes she will do it right after we have scooped/cleaned boxes. I even got a Feli way diffuser and placed where she often poops....thought it worked bc she didn't poop outside box for about a week, then is started back up. Please help!!!
