I Finally Found Out Why Is My Cat Pooping On Floor Randomly

ANNE MORGAN

If you notice your cat pooping on the floor all of a sudden, you won’t be very happy with them. However, there may be reasons for this particular behavior that require your attention, such as litter box issues, medical problems, and other behavioral issues.

The common reasons for this behavior may vary from minor litter box problems to some behavior issues or health problems. 5 Possible Reasons:

1. Litter Box Issues

If your cat’s litter box is dirty, they probably won’t use it because of the unpleasant odors, or because they cannot bury their mess properly.

2. Medical Issues

If your cat suffers from diarrhea, it’s more likely to poop somewhere on the floor as it couldn’t make it on time to the litter box. Whatever the reason is, it’s important to take the cat to the vet and to treat the problem before it becomes worse.

3. Behavioral Issues

For example, if you moved to a new house, this can upset the cat as she’s not familiar with the environment and she doesn’t feel safe there yet.

4. Anxiety And Stress

Besides environmental stresses such as loud noises, crowds and similar, a cat may be stressed due to certain changes in her environment such as, unknown guests, new pets, and similar.

5. Older Cats And Agility Problems

If you have an older cat pooping on the floor randomly, don’t blame her, but try to help her as it probably isn’t on purpose.

In order to stop the cat from pooping in specific places on your floors, you should clean the mess thoroughly. If you don’t clean it carefully, the cat will still be able to smell the scent of feces and she’ll do it again in the same spot.

Perhaps your cat does not like the litter at all; try a new type of litter and put it in the other litter box and see which one suits your cat best.

If you have difficulties teaching your cat how to use the litter box, or you don’t see any progress, then you can consult with your veterinarian or an animal behaviorist.

A cat pooping and peeing over the edge of a litter box or elsewhere means that something’s wrong. It may be the way your cat shows you she is not satisfied in some way. Your job is to find the reason for that behavior and treat it properly.
