It is harsh, but it would drive me up the wall if we didn't do it fulltime - you don't want a cat crapping in your house if you're not a crazy cat lady (or guy) like us. (Not to say we WANT a cat crapping our house, but you know what I mean - we expect it).

If the worst comes to the worst, please contact us and we'll take him in and try to rehabilitate him for someone else. Or we'll put you in touch with a local rescue centre.

Sod off Nicola, it only takes two ticks to pick up a bit of poo. I want them to keep their beloved puddy. You're just after their flippin Blue Russian! I'll get you at playtime, pmsl

Any pet owner has to clean up full time as accidents do happen missus!

Even doggy walkers have to take bags out with them.....nahnah nah nah nah

RE: pooping out of the litter box....I had this problem last week with Ollie.. Soon fixed it, Silly me was putting too much litter in his tray

He peed no problem, but if he poo'd he had too much litter to make a space and kick over. So i reduced the litter straight away and now hes back to pooping and peeing in the litter tray.

RE: messing on bay tree... Only thing i can think of is chicken mesh around the base sorry im no more help. Unfortunatly, cats go as and where they like.

thanks amy i will try that, i thought there may be some repellent i could buy!!!!!!!!

unfortunatly with a repellant you would have to cover every entire bit of your house except the litter tray lol

Better stick to things that may encourage him to the litter tray instead of wearing yourself out trying to cover 99.9% of your house. I hope it works, Let me know how you get on

We first noticed that he was pooping in the shower and the bathroom sink. It was irritating, but fortunately easy to clean up, and with patience and training we got him to stop. Now, however, he has resigned to pooping NEXT to the litter box. He will only use it when it is completely cleaned out and unused. We've been through three litter boxes, one with a door, one without a lid of any kind, and now a self cleaning one yet he just will NOT stop going to the bathroom on the floor next to the litter box. He was four months when we got him and is now seven months and we are near our wits end. I've gotten to where we're trying to clean the litter box two to three times a day for two cats just to keep him happy and it's not working.
Our other cat has had one accident in his entire life when he was three weeks old so I'm not sure what to do. Any help and training advice would be great.

Some behavioral cues:
He's a Russian Blue, who is very sweet and loving and adores my wife and I and loves our other cat. He only poops on the floor, but never pees. He KNOWS he's not supposed to, I know when he's done it because he will run and hide before I've even seen it. He also knows he's supposed to use the litter box because it's always right next to it, never in corners or other places around the house.

A second litter box is simply not an option, I won't even consider it. We can only bend over backwards so much for a cat, he needs to learn to obey the rules. *sigh* Please help, I don't want to get rid of him.

Don't know if cats "obey rules" - why don't you just try another litterbox, if it solves the problem then there's no stress.

If I got another cat I'd get another litterbox too, cats are just wierd like that
