Re: Cat won't stop pooping next to litter box
Shame the neighbour doesn't keep the cat in. Safer for the cat, and nicer for you.

Re: Cat won't stop pooping next to litter box
my cats use to do that, once they have a wee or poo there they always do it in same place. i'd bleach that area and put something like pepper or lemon juice on floor so that they dont do it again

Re: Cat won't stop pooping next to litter box
Might sound wierd but, have you tried putting the feaces deposited outside the litter tray into the litter tray so that next time the fur-child visits, he will see where it is meant to go? Clean it afterwards as you normally do but make a point if letting him see/smell his own 'doings' inside the litter tray - may have to do this more than once but your cat should get the message pretty soon. Its how I train my siamese kittens and they pick it up straight away but with a cat who has always poo'ed outside the tray, it may take a few goes (pardon the pun).
All the best.

Re: Cat won't stop pooping next to litter box
I do that too Rraa, it's amazing how quick the kittens pick up on it
 As for not wanting to buy a second litter tray, well, i'm sorry you might always have the problem. Cats are territorial and some like a litter box to themselves. Someone mentined 1 box per cat, then an extra, that is true, we were told by the vets to do this, but I already did anyway, lol. Cats are funny creatures at the best of times and who knows what goes through their minds. I think you need to bend over backwards a little bit more, you never know it might just be worth it.

Re: Cat won't stop pooping next to litter box
mmm Yes - glad I'm not the only one using this odd method. LOL Of course, no need to "rub the kitten's/puppy's nose in it" - they will notice when they next visit and it does help them associate the thing with the correct place. Job done - pardon the pun again - LOL
By the way - I have five cats but not six litter trays. Mine seem to cope well enough with four trays - two downstairs and two upstairs. PS: I do add more when kittens are born though... just depends on how much space you have. Last edited by Rraa; 10-05-2008 at 06:20 PM. Reason: another thought I forgot to add ...
