Thread: new cat pooing on the floor! Help

If only that was the reason! Fudge has her own, new, disinfected tray in the living room at the moment and the other 2 cats have decided that they don't want to come in when she is there at the moment! During the day she is shut into the living room and the other 2 have the rest of the houseand their own tray. When I am at home (lunch time and evenings) the doors are all open. She has done a poo in the tray since we got her but only once and when she does go on the floor it's when she is on her own over night! I've read that sometimes cats won't poo and wee in the same tray. I have never had this problem in all the years I've had cats but I suppose it could be that. It may just be the stress of the move as well so I'm going to get some felliway pheramone spray to try at the weekend. I've only just sorted out my big cat Harley! He is old and can't crouch down very far so always missed the tray. Just bought him one big enough for a lion and that has worked! I should be an expert on poos and wees by now!

I'm no help either. I do have one cat here that won't use the tray at all... but he holds on until we let him outside, even though we don't let them out at night time.

Make sure she has litter she is used to. Our girl is a little madam if we start trying out new brands & would poo outside her tray if we changed it. She also refuses when it is time to change the litter completely if we haven't changed it by when we normally would have if we've been away or busy.

she's done it! We have poo in the right place! I bought spray for the floor to deter her from pooing there, bought Felliway spray incase it was stress related and sprayed cat nip in the tray! No idea what worked but something did! Only thing is, she has been for her opperation today so we are expecting a couple of acidents while she comes round!
