When Kayla was asked why her former people brought her to the shelter she responded,

“Those people gave me up ’cause I kept pooping on their bed. I did it ’cause they were gross and they never cleaned my litter box. I was happier to get rid of them then them get rid of me. I can poop when ever I want, did you know that? I even tried to poop on my person’s lap. Okay, I am so much happier here; It was a good decision of mine.”

• Amy My cat never goes in her box, it is perfectly clean but she only goes outside or in the living room when she has a bone to pick with me.

• Laura Stinchfield  Amy that could be true about having an issue with you.

• REASONS WHY CATS

•  GO OUTSIDE

• THE LITTER BOX

•  slippery poops – digestive issue they can not always hold it. It is not diarrhea just all of a sudden stomach cramping and then they have to go.

• Clay litter is too dusty and it hurts their eyes and their nose,

• crystals in the litter burn their feet,

• top on litter box traps smell too much,

• litter made for “multiple cat” has too strong of an odor.

• Bladder, hips, or knees are hurting so dont want to lift their leg into the box,

• litter too deep for older cats and it hurts body to support themselves when they go,

• clay litter or clumping litter sticks to their feet or fur and when they groom it swells in their stomach.

• of course bladder / kidney infection

• physical l problems often caused by food that have a lot of grain and or sugar. fancy feast, nine lives… any supermarket brands.

• any more…. those are the main ones
