    Default my cat is pooping on the floor!

    ok, so the other day when i had 3 cats at my apt (my 2 and my brothers), someone pooped on the floor. nowhere near the litter box, either, that's in the laundry room and it happened in the dining room. i was convinced that it had to have been my brother's cat because i was taking a nap and my kitten was sleeping with me, and jasper has never had an accident or gone on purpose. he's been very unhappy previously, and never done anything like that. (we've moved back and forth between my parents house and my old apartment a ton of times before moving into my place now. bad for him, i know, but i couldnt help it.)

    i emptied the litter box, refilled it with fresh litter, and sent my brother's cat home. i cleaned the carpet twice just to be sure.

    i just now noticed that someone, either jasper or olivia, did it AGAIN right next to that spot. why would they do this? they have clean litter, i just scooped the box. and how can i stop it since i dont know which cat it is? i have a feeling that it's jasper, even though he's never done it before

    They're doing it because you keep changing up their lives. They're mad at you and showing it.

    so how do i stop them? we're settled in and won't be moving again, and it's just the two of them. just wait and see if they stop on their own?

    Pretty much. They stop when they've calmed down. Might be a week or two.

    If you didn't clean the carpet with something serious and meant specifically for the cat-smell removing purpose, they're still going to be able to smell it. It's an "I'm annoyed" thing, like The Artist Now Known As Lysondra said. There is a small possibility it's something medical, but that tends to be urine more than poop. Clean it really well, and try to keep their schedule super normal for a week or so, and see what happens.

    It's possible that there is something wrong with whichever cat is going outside the litter box. Going outside the litter box is one of the clues that your cat might be sick. It isn't normal for a cat to go outside the litter box if it's clean, because they naturally want to cover the smell. If you do a search online you'll see. Just recently my cat died from advanced heart disease, and she had been going outside the litter box. I didn't realize that it was a warning sign at the time - I thought she was being spiteful. I'm not trying to scare you or say that your cat is definitely sick, but you should be aware.

    Good luck!

    It's usually only urine cats have sicknesses with when they go outside the box.

    have you changed their litter recently? one of the cats may not approve. or if the kitten is "coming of age" and your older cat is using the litter box and has "claimed" it, you might consider getting another one so that they don't have to share a litter box, my cats hated sharing a litter box, didnt like the way the other's shit stank i guess!
