Have you tried washing her box out with vinegar? And then putting brand new litter in it? Or buying a new litter box?

Also, sometimes cats will not show they are ill and just do it by their actions. I had a friend who's cat would pee in the sink when ever she had a urinary infection. The cat showed no signs of being sick other than that.

I cleaned the box and put new liter in day before yesterday. Didn't help. The box itself we've only had for a couple of months, so it's not old and bad. I'm going to go buy the litter brand we used up until 4 months ago and see if going back to that is what she wants. If it doesnt work, I guess I'll try the vet. If they tell me she's just being a jerk though I don't know what I'll do.

Good luck. Let us know what happens.

Maybe I havent been paying enough attention to her. I usually play with and love her up when I first get in bed at night but lately I've been really stressed out and going straight to sleep. Maybe she is mad at me.

 

[Reidus]

That could do it. Samantha hates to be ignored! I make it a point to pick her up and cuddle at least once a day. I know; she's spoiled rotten.

 

[sashwa]

I wonder if she is stressed herself and that's why she is doing this.

I just dont know. Cats will never make sense to me. LOL. Ill get her some of the old litter and some extra lovins tonight and see if she still does it.

i don't think this has been mentioned yet but maybe something scared her while she was using the box one night or something
try relocating the box to a different part of the house if possible and see if that works

i've never tried it but i wonder if rubbing the out side of the box with cat nip would work lol

I was watching this guy on animal planet that's a "cat behavioralist"...it was wild! he gets into the cats "personality" and figures out why he/she's acting out. Worth a watch!

Star- its in the only place it can go. She kind of has her own room in my house where the dogs can't go. Anywhere else and the dogs find themselves some "kitty snacks". :shudder:

Freddy- I think i've seen that. There was an episode where the cat wouldn't use the box because the grain of the litter was too rough on her feet. They fixed it by getting a finer grain of litter. What I buy is already pretty fine grain.

I also suspect that her room has gotten a little cluttered because I keep my art supplies in there and that could be ticking her off. Weird sounding I know, but it happened once before. I was rearranging the house and I had piled too much stuff in there for her liking so she started ...... on things. When I cleaned up and put it all away she stopped. She hates clutter on the floor.

Amber, the most important in understanding dogs and cats:
Dogs look to you as their master, cats look to you as their servant. Once you understand that, everything else just falls in place.

Wondering what trippes that are posted have been (Like Staring In The Sun) Tier?

 

[maleko]

And Amber yea any change makes cats do that. When I was younger my sister had a cat and when I got one hers would go into the parents bedroom and pee on the center of the bed.

Have you seen the "Cat from Hell" series on there? It's this guy all tattooed and pierced up, battling kitty behaviour problems. Some of the cats he treats are scary. Never thought I'd be scared of a kitty, but he finds some mean ones

Good Afternoon Trippyville!

Amber,
We had a 15 year-old male who started defecating outside the box right after we moved into the new house. We tried everything from changing litter to coaxing him into the box with hand-held treats. This went on for almost a year. We might get him to use the box for a couple of days and then back down to the basment couch he would go...literally. We took him to the vets a number of times and they always said he seemed/tested fine. We had yelled at him and negatively reinforced the behavior in every way imaginable short of beating him. The last night of his life was heartbreaking and gave us a whole new understanding for "don't believe that a Cat is okay just because he or she looks okay". This male was out on the porch when I got home, my wife tells me he's again defecated on the couch and he's been acting sheepish after being yelled at in the middle of the act. I went out to check on him and he let me pick him up and bring him in for some lap attention on the couch. He then got up and started to jump onto the floor when I noticed him noticibly wobble. I managed to catch him before he fell but he then started to shake and yowl which had my wife and I wrapping him in a towel to get him to the emergency clinic. We discovered after getting him to the emergency vet that he had acute pacreatitis and peritonitis. He was literally arresting while they were talking to us and we barely had time to go into the back to say goodbye. The Vet told us that a simple X-ray or ultrasound would have found this 6 or 8 months earlier but our PREVIOUS country doctor had not wanted to do this procedure. We suggested an Xray on 2 previous occasions but this Vet felt it was uneccessary beacuse all of his squeezing, proding and general manipulations didn't produce any effect in the cats behavior. Even blood test showed no obvious markers. The only other symptom was he wasn't drinking water as often as was typical. The emergency vet (VCA) told us that Cats are better at hiding pain than another domesticated animal. My wife watched our old vet squeeze this cat's abdomen without a sign of issue and 2 days later he died in our arms. If we would have had the Xray, our buddy Rummy would still be with us.
