Why Does My Cat Poo On The Floor

by Daisy

My cat has a liter tray which is cleaned out every day and washed. But still she runs around the house beeing realy wierd and poos on the carpet but she goes in her litter tray when she wants a wee. Why does she do this?

Answer by Kate
something must stil be upsetting her for her to midden outside her litted tray. My cat won't poo in her tray if she has urinated in it first so i have to clean it after she urinates every time.
Also is her trasy in a safe and secure place not too near her food or loud noises such as a washing machine, this can be a common cause of cats not wanting to spend much time around their litter tray.
If the behavior continues you may have to use the confined room method i mention on my training pages for litter box training.
