Help with cat behavior – attacking children defecate outside box!?
Any help is appreciated here! 1-My cat is acting yro strangely, and are in the final trial. The cat has been pooping outside the litter box – a foot away. This happens maybe 1x a day, but not all days. The garbage is kept fairly clean, and have been using an enzyme treatment in that area (the linoleum), but does not help. Well, now we find that the cat has gone above our kitchen cabinets and pooped 2-3 times. (Ewww) Furthermore, the cat is being very aggressive in our 5 years of age – to attack their legs and badly scratched. Our son is good for the cat – pet gently, play fair, etc etc. We were told it was sweet and soft when adopted, this is a walking, pooping terror … and I'm done.
If you have had the cat for a while, and this is a recent change in toilet habits, then you need to take to the vet for a checkup. If she is not feeling well, this might also explain why in a bad mood. If the vet gives him a clean bill of health, or only taken it recently, so this is a problem of some sort with the litter box, or feels insecure and is marking territory (middening). If you are a little nervous, she may be lashing out in fear, so you better give it more time to settle in their home. The website below is a checklist of 18 reasons why a cat stop using his litter box, along with tips on how to solve the problem. If it is dialing area, then you will also find tips on how to deal with it. Keep http://www.celiahaddon.co.uk/pet 20problems/cats/frameset.html% using enzyme cleaners, but then spray or rub the area with alcohol (cheap in the pharmacy), and which will destroy any remaining odor that might be able to detect. You can also try placing a bowl of dry food this place as a reminder that there is a swimming area. Above all, please be patient with her. She is trying to get help in the only way she knows how.
