Cat problems
Posted: Sat Jun 02, 2012 3:27 pm
I've had my cat(Mirage) ever since she was a newborn. I saw her born, and was with her and her littermates and mother as she grew. We took her home and I found that we didn't even need to really train her to use the litterbox- I simply took her there every half hour for the first 2 days and after that, everything was perfectly fine.
Now Mirage is a two year old cat(But she still is pretty small and acts like a kitten, so I refer to her as a kitten) and has begun to use the bathroom(Both poop and pee) outside of the litterbox. Her litterbox is in the downstairs bathroom(Our house has two stories, but there isn't any room upstairs for another litterbox) and we feed her in the utility room, which is across from the downstairs bathroom. We feed our cats two times a day- Axel in the bathroom, and Mirage in the utility room. Mirage isn't fixed(Axel is, though) and has never had this problem before. Nothing has recently happened, and she was perfectly fine with the types of litter we had before, and she never goes outside. We have found pee and poo both in the bathroom(Which is where it was at first- just outside the litterbox, and not inside it) as well as the living room(Which is also near the bathroom).
If she doesn't stop, my parents said we have to get rid of her- I really don't want her to go, so does anyone have any tips on how I can get my cat to use the litterbox again or why she is even doing this?
EDIT: I am gonna add any and all suggestions/tips to a list, that way it's more organized for me.
