I love the cat, but picking cat poop off the floor for six months is a little much, and I especially don't know what I'd do if I had to do it for another 10 - 20 years.
I'm ready to take drastic measures. I don't want to by any means hurt the cat, but we love him and he loves us, but if his behavior doesn't change, he's got to go. I know that would hurt him as much as us, so what can we do? I'm ready to put a 15 inch leash on him next to his litter box so that he has to learn to poop in it or he is going to sleep on it. This behavior is just unacceptable.
