Someone is pooping outside the box...about once a week. *sigh* It is always a healthy poop. Not to wet. Not to dry. Not to big. Not to small. It is always located right in front of a box. Locations vary.
It is only being done when we are sleeping or not home.
My guess is Lilly. I'm guessing Lilly because she recently had issues with constipation. ASSuming she now has a "fear."
Lilly was recently seen by the vet. However, she only had a physical examination. No blood, urine, etc. tests. (New vet. He didn't suggest tests. Old vet always did...and I'm a creature of habit. Also at the time, I was concentrated and discussing Lola's upcoming dental and didn't ask.
You would think when I paid the bill (50 bucks compared to 150) that would have jogged my memory!
We have 6 cats and 1 dog.
I always have a minimum of 7 litter boxes available for use. They are located from one end of the house to the other...none in a bathroom.
There is always access to at least 6 boxes and 4 different locations.
Litter boxes are all considered x-large or jumbo. Various sizes and shapes. All but one are covered. The poo has been found in front of the covered and the uncovered boxes.
The litter is the same litter i have used for years.
I scoop once a day... pretty much at the same time.
All boxes are dumped and washed every 4 weeks...sometimes more often.
As far as Lacy dog... she doesn't watch a cat using the box. She doesn't follow a cat to a litter box. She doesn't inspect a litter box after it has been used.
I'm thinking of moving the outside cameras to the inside. lol I hate to ASSume it is Lilly and her reason for doing so, and be wrong.
