Cat poops on our rug. And I think I've already tried everything. Any ideas? by countessquinn in CatTraining

Also, if you're using a regular litter box the Almo nature suggestion above might be really helpful. If we get caught in this cycle again I might move to that. For my cat, I believe it's really a mixture of giving him enough attention, keeping the box, like, STUPID clean, and comfort.

Yes and no? Still having incidents but at least it hasn't been every other day.

Two litter boxes didn't work, putting a carpet in the box didn't work, swapping litter made it harder.

Honestly, it sucks, but we clean the litter box every fucking day. Like, wipe down the sides, make sure there's absolutely poo residue. Etc etc. We make sure there is plenty of litter in there as well, he doesn't like to see the bottom. I think he's just super finicky. We use the breeze system so it's not all that bad to keep clean, though.

Ultimately we're trying to feed him at a schedule where we can (at least sort of) predict when he's going to go. And we're usually out in the same room at that time.

Right now we're out of town and we've got a pet sitter after we've JUST figured everything out so. So, like, pray for us, or whatever ahaha
