Cat poop

Have you seen him in the box?  Does it have a lid?  Mine have always preferred the boxes with lids.  Sobe hangs his head out the opening.  I'm just wondering if your boy maybe thinks his bottom is in the tray when it's not?

Copper used to dig for half an hour before doing anything.  Then dig for another half hour after.

Since she passed, we've discovered Sobe doesn't dig AT ALL and just poops in the exact same spot so the box has a "poop mountain."  Men of any species really do need a woman to help them remain socially acceptable. 

Yea the box is in the downstairs water closet across from the living room. He can get in and out of it easily. No lid. I’ll try getting one with a lid if this doesn’t work. We got one with a little higher edge thinking it may help but it hasn’t.  He usually poops before we get up in the morning lately but I’ve seen him use it before. Who knows. He’s a boy after all 

We need pics of the little fella.

Maybe some pics of the litter tray and the poop might make it easier to diagnose

That's what used to happen with some cats at the rescue centre, so they just gave those the trays with the lids.

Jimbo, be careful what you wish for.

LOL. I can get pictures of the tray but the poop will be tomorrow 🤣 It’s normal cat poop though

And they say Americans don't understand irony...

Isn't he gorgeous (the cat, no sure about Jimbo.  Jimbo has some strange requests).

Of course you've seen this cake???

Tootsies! 

Hubby wanted to make this cake.  I wouldn't let him.

I seemed to have solved the problem. Last two days, he’s pooped IN the box!  All I did was top off the box with a little more litter and moved the box about an inch forward away from the wall. I noticed he gets in the box in a weird way and it seemed like he was backing himself into a corner to do the deed. So far, so good!

Good News!

Had cats for many years. One of the things we did find useful was to get a large cardboard box - bigger than the litter box - to set the litterbox in. We cut a big u-shaped entry in the side for the cat(s) to easily access the box (no lid on the box). For some reason, one of the kitties seems to have found that preferable to just having a litterbox in the corner and would then always use the litterbox, whereas before we would sometimes catch her pooping just outside it. So yeah, I made the cat(s) a privacy screen. It did work for us. Also always left just a tiny bit of the soiled litter in the box so it was like marking "the spot" - not enough for us to smell, mind you. Just for the cats to ID.  Glad your kitty is sorted out now!
