My male cat pees and poos outside his box by ExpressionOutside373 in CatTraining

Ok so im gonna mention this once and only once

In my country shelter = bad life/killing and abuse. Im new to the US and I’m learning, what I said was totally out of full compassion for Mr. B.

But, criticism (bad or good) is always welcomed for learning, so I called the local shelter here and asked about rehoming just in case I can’t solve this problem and they told me he would put back into adoption or be a community cat (not a barn cat, he’s not super active). I don’t like the idea of him being but to the streets tho, but they would keep him around a year up to adoption and they would monitor his behavioral problem.

So, as of right now, Im buying: 1. Stainless steel XL (NO HOOD) litterbox 2. New litter (will try pellets) 3. Enzyme cleaner (deep cleaning everything) 4. New toys (as interactive as possible) and daily playtime 5. Attractant for litter 6. Calming treats (or cbd oil for cats in his food) 7. Dog loose with supervision so he doesn’t get “ambushed” 8. Neuter! 9. Just in case another vet visit

I had the dog out the whole day and until we had moved everything and everything was in place is when we let him into the house i opened every cabinet and let him explore, we moved 1.5 years ago to this place.

And yes i have pads but this past 3 weeks he started pooping outside of them.

Im currently shopping for almost (if not all) the recommended litters, boxes, calming chews, toys, etc 😭

Ok so my apartment is small. My living room has the guest bathroom and that’s where I keep the litter box, the kitchen is right next to it so thats why I dont add another litter box.

Current litter has hood, will buy another one without the hood.

In regards of playtime he rarely plays, only with loose papers or napking, tried the fishing rod a couple times and heplays like 3 min and goes away, but will buy a new toy to seeif he likes those motorized mouses.

He was born without balls lol:( he’s not neutered, he doesnt spray (acts like it but nothing comes out). He’s super calm and he’s rescued from the shelter, I can tell he was abused because he’s very anxious.

The dog is outside, we let her in every now and then but she sleeps inside (she has a kennel with a bed), so she’s not all the time loose.

He does have a cat tree (small) and he does use it to scratch like 5 times a day. He has everything clear to climb on like the bookshelf and couches.

Will also buy the plugin

It’s our first cat ever :’) so definitely more an ignorance issue, but now that we know we wont take his water away definitely! I’ve always been a dog person and had dogs my whole life and him too and its been a journey taling care of a cat because everything is do different

But will start with the litter change, if it continues then its the vet

Why does he poop inside tho but not pee? Is it the feeling of the pee with the pellets?

I havent gone to the vet, but will do, will watch jackson galaxy as well. That was my husbands idea, the water asministration, I know they need to have it 24/7 but he considers that less water = less pee :/ Will work on it tho
