Middeinng
Good afternoon all,
I'm new to the site and am almost at my wits end. I have three furry babies at home, male 6 yrs siamese, femail 5 years siamese and a 2 year old black and white moggie. All are mainly housebound. They have 2 large clean litter trays with litter pearls in them. The trays are kept clean and are in a private area of the house (v. large under stairs cupboard/room). My problem is that my eldest siamese boy has taken to some serious middening. He poos on the bath mat when he sneaks into the room. I have managed to all but cure this by keeping him out. I have a lodger who has his own settee and he is constantly pooing and peeing all over it and covering it with the throw over and cushions.I am struggling to keep up with the constant washing and cleanng. I recntly took a few day saway and when I returned my BED was covered in faeces and urine! He even pooed on my duvet whilst I was asleep in bed!! My little man is my favourite, he gets the most attention and all three get on very well. Apart from the odd hiss or slap from each other. My partner is a very tolerant man but is naturally getting more an more annoyed by my cats behaviour. Any suggestions, tips or tricks will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Abigail |

When a cat starts pooing and peeing outside of the box the first thing
you need to do is take him to the vet and rule out a medical problem. I also would stop using the Litter Pearls as it is a texture that many cats don't like. Switch to a soft, sandy clumping litter, add a third litterbox in a different location and make sure to scoop the boxes twice a day.

A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way." - W.H.

At 6, he is not even middle aged, so I would not think it is an age
related problem, however a change in habits could be due to an infection or other problem that he has. I would very strongly suggest a trip to the vets for a check up as I have heard of many instances of this sort of behaviour change which has been due ot an infection. Also, it may be that for some reason he has taken a dislike to the litter in the trays you provide. You may want to change the litter in one of them, but for 3 cats I would go with the golden rule of 1 litter tray per cat + 1 extra. Best of luck!
