Cat pooping on the floor..... (I'm about to strangle her)

The only change you've had is bringing in a new cat. The resident cat obviously is acting out because of this.

What we do in our rescue, if something like this happens. We start all over again with the introductions. We take 2 weeks at least to intro cats just to avoid fights and litterbox issues.

And if you added a cat you need more litter boxes.

Shall we take her back to the rescue place that we bought her from? Where do you suppose we should take her? She is our cat now. She will learn one way or the other. Trust me.

Oh, and I would like to shove your face in some shit as well. I know it is frustrating, but really the first thing you need to do is rule out illness. But I think it's the new cat.

You are not rescuing any cats if you can't even deal with something this common and simple without threatening abuse to the animal. You do not need to call yourself a rescuer.

No one in any of the groups I work with would ever do that to a cat.

Just a couple suggestions from someone who was dealt with similar cat behaviour.

1: Add another box if you have the room. Some cats can deal with a second cat but a third is over the edge.

2: Ask your vet. The cat could be sick. Have you check the stool? Is the cat dehydrated? Does the cat have worms?

3: Check the paws. Look for cracks in the pads. Is the cat sensitive when you gently messages the paws?

4: Was this cat particulary close to one of the humans in the house and had less attention since the new arrival?

5: Watch the cats around the food and water dishes. Is this cat getting shoved away from the water?

6: Try putting a litter box where the cat is dropping the stools.

Good luck OP.

My gosh, put the cats outside.
You will be happier, the cats will be happier and your friends will be happy knowing your house will no longer stink when visiting.
I will change my kids diaper but I will never scoop cat poop! Nasty!

Yes, you should. We take back any cat that does not work out in the home where we placed the cat. It is part of our contract that if you get rid of the cat, you have to give it back to us.

OP you need to quit shitting in the litterbox, it stinks so much a cat won't go near it.
Do you have intestinal worms?
Meow once for yes, two times for no.
Good kitty.

This was posted and ignored twice. Seems pretty obvious now. The poor cat needs treatment that no amount of slapping is going to help. Where should you take her? To the vet.

Am I speaking with all the parents who brought up all these wonderful kids we have today?

Check first for fleas and worms.
A simple deworming may fix the problem

Try an unscented litter

If she likes to be brushed try that and maybe a little extra playtime.

She is either uncomfortable from parasites or stressed / unhappy


I can't tell you how much I wanted to strangle our cat for the same thing. Until I noticed she had worms. I dewormed her and she has not missed the kitty box since

No, you're speaking with people who have experience with cats.

And there is the reason why I've never had a cat. I fed some strays once until the animal control lady told me if you feed them for more thane 3 days, they are yours.

Did I stroke you against the grain?

You have other cats


Now to many cats its to much for them

Get a second box and clean it more

If you hurt that kitty i hope it eats your soul while you sleep

Op you sound like a bad person find someone who likes cats give the cat away

BUY A 2ND LITTER BOX.....SERIOUSLY....THAT'STOLD TO ME BY A VET.

I just saw now who made the thread go figure

Now i know why i got bad vibes about the op

Keep the stupid cat outside. I have a 15 year old cat who used to be indoor-exclusive, but over the last year she decided to puke and shit in the house every day. Now I keep the bitch outside.

I have a 14 year old cat who is perfect. He has manners and is quite sociable. You would love him. The new kitty does.

Don't diss me because this other one chooses to be difficult. She knows where her food and water are. She also knows where to shit.

She is jealous. And I'm not going to put up with it.

She has had quite enough time (and cat boxes) to get over it.

I already told you cats are not kids. They don't think like humans do. Not even little humans. They are animals and have been give animal characteristics. They sent their area. That is how they keep away the others. When they are stressed they sent more.


By bringing another cat into the home because you wanted to, you have caused the cat major stress problems and it it trying to communicate that to you.

You are the intelligent one, so why do you expect the cat to understand you and go by your rules?
Surely you should use your intelligence to try and understand what the cat needs to stop doing this? How can you make this cat feel secure again? If you can't then give it away.

Sorry meant scent not sent.

you should quarantine your cat

clearly this cat has hemohhroids or E.D

Obviously, she is upset with you.
She is making a point and wants to be acknowledged.
Use reverse psychology and tell her what a good girl she is, making her think that pooping on the floor is something that does not piss you off.

excellent observation

I wish my ex boss would have understood that.

You mentioned in your other thread that she hisses at the kitten? Is the kitten trying to play with her and that's what is making her hiss?If so, whenever you see the kitten attempting to mess with her, say in a firm voice Nestor, NO,and then walk over to the kitten and put him on the other side of the room.You need to teach the kitten that it needs to respect the female.This will also let your female cat know you respect her too.

I've had nothing but problems with female cats.

TMI

She wouldn't last ten seconds outside. I wouldn't do that.

We have tried that route. It doesn't seem to work.
