Cat Nuisance – Pooing Where They Shouldn’t

Anyone whom has a pet which poos where it shouldn’t, knows of the lack of joy when having to clean up after said pet and its little, (or large) presents they decided to leave you.

Recently before Christmas (2015) had to take on my auntie’s cat (my auntie passed away due to cancer), long story short my aunties cat Ellie (aged 15 years), did not get on with my 2 year old cat “Angel”and my 20 month old kitten “Verne”. While Ellie was at mine, she used a cat litter (what I got with Ellie), which is the little gray dust pellets pictured below

  
I personally don’t use this as the dust which can plume from the cat litter tray can cover the house in the dust and it isn’t the easiest dust to clean up if it gets damp.
The cat litter I usually use is a compressed wood pellet sort, which is pictured below.

   
 
These come in 30ltr bags and can be bought from B&M for about £6 a sack (30ltr sack) and is bio-degradable, which is great for the environment.

Due to Ellie not getting on with my cats, I had to give her to a cat sanctuary who would be able to give her a loving home where she could live happily.

Since Ellie had left, I changed back to the normal cat litter I had been using before, however soon after for no apparent reason Verne started to poop on the bathroom floor and in the bath tube, yet he would urinate in the cat litter tray. I tried various ways and followed Verizon’s advice on how to stop this behaviour. No of it worked.

While doing some clearing out of rubbish at my home, I came across a bad of the gray clay like pellets cat litter. In the back of my mind I heard a voice. This voice said try Verne with this cat litter… So I did. I have found Verne has stopped pooing where he shouldn’t and is now doing all his business in the cat litter tray.

Sigh of relief lol.

My next task is to slowly mix the two cat litters and try and get him onto using the wooden cat pellets.

I would like to add here a conclusion I came to.

Don’t give up, and don’t get upset if you feel you can not find a solution to your problem. There is always an answer, it may just need to be investigated more.

I found a solution because I eliminated all other possibilities.
