My friend gave me a siamese cat in October and told me it was litter box trained, but when he turned 1 in March he started peeing and pooping on our carpet. He is spayed. How do I fix this problem? I clean his litter box everyday.

Give the cat back to your 'friend'.

Okay - the basic things to check are

1. Visit a vet for a health check to rule out any medical reasons.
2. Try a different sort of litter tray - if he has an open tray - try a hooded
one.
3. Make sure it is in a quiet area out of the main "busy" areas of the lounge/
dining room/hall areas
4. Try a different type of litter - he may hate the litter you use now. If you
use a clumping - try a non clumping or recycled newspaper type. Or try
Catattract Cat litter.
5. If you are able - scoop it out as and when he uses it rather than just once
a day - some cats are extremely fussy that way.

Good luck.

is he whole or neutered?

edit: Whoops, neutered! However males I think are more territorial even when neutered - maybe he is marking. Any other cats around? If you let him out - how? Via a cat flap? Can anybody else gain access? *Creeping cat music lol*

i love how you refer to your cat as "it"

did anything happen in march to of made your cat stressed?

id put him in a crate with enough room for a litter tray , some vetbed or a blanket food and water give him stretch time every day , do this for a few days then if when you let him back out you catch him in the act tell him off in a stern but not too loud voice and put him in the crate for an hour he will soon learn .......... its like kids and the naughty chair lol

thanks everyone for your help! hopefully he'll start behaving!
