Comments on: How to Stop Your Cat from Going Outside the Litter Box

on 4/30/2008 I have 2 cats that are 6 & 7 years old this year.Both are females and get along great.The 7 year old had a few occasions when she was younger where she would urinate outside of her box. We had the vet do a complete exam and didn't find any health concerns except she is overweight. She has recently started soiling outside of the litter box. She has her own box and it is even when its been freshly cleaned.

on 2/11/2008 I have 2 cats that are both 4 years old this year...had both since they were 8 weeks. The cat we got first is fine with the litter box and always has been, but my other cat hasn't. she does her #2 out side of the litter box... even when its been freshly cleaned. now i know its been four years of picking up after her... its just how its been....she's never gone on a carpet which makes for easy clean-up... i am at my wits end and want to fix her behavioural problem the right way. now i've tried toilet training, 3 litter boxes at once, out of the flow of house traffic, no hoods and all the different kinds of litter!!! what else can i do??

on 12/5/2007 I was using a great cat litter caller Feline Pine. My kitty started going outside the box until I switched back to regular clumping, also its true that they dont like covered boxes. They like to be free when they go and not cooped up in a box. I noticed mine were not liking having to stoop to go, they like to hover on the edge with the front of there bodies and only have their business end in the box. Yes! too watch for discolored or strong urine, Males especially. We recently had to put our kitty to sleep because he ended up having kidney failure which I initially mistook for bad kitty box behavior. We are still missing him.
