Cat pooping behind TV

[spittles]

I tried the Feliway Comfort Zone because my cat was spraying, and it sure didn't help at all...what a waste of $30

I would say to try Dr. Jean Spirit Essence...and they have a free sample program going on now.

Definately try a litter box behind the TV. It is worth a shot!

When you add a second litter box, it should be in a different area of the house. This gives her a better chance to find an unmonitored box. Most cats do well with this situation, although there is a member here, whose cat supervisers all 5 boxes in different locations .

Have you tried Cat Attract litter? We have 2 cats that pee on everything. When we switched over, it cut it down significantly.
Also I can say that Nature's Miracle works better than many of the others. Not only that but some of the others leave a residue behind and it feels awful.
Another thing to try is to get the Feliway Plug in. Sometimes the stress caused by certain situations is too much for them and they need some external help.

If you have the $, why don't you just replace the padding and carpet behind the tv. You know eventually you will have to do this anyway since it all nasty there but this way you can see if it happens another time when its fresh carpet and if it does block off that area with aluminum foil since cats don't like walking or hearing the sound of it on their feet.

Good luck

Thanks to everyone for all your help and replies and this will be my last post on this subject.

I tried so many things to get her to go back to the box. I could not get the message to her, stop it or your gone.

Well I weighed the pros and cons and my husband took her to the shelter tonight before I got home.

The main thing of course was not using the box. Other then that she is shy to strangers. When we have a group over you will not find her. If one of my kids have a friend or 2 over, she will be right there on the bed with them but will hiss if they try to pet her.

The shelter said they didn't have room to take a cat in for adoption but they would take strays. She said they wait for a few days to see if the owner will pick them up and if not they put them up for adoption for UNLIMITED time she said. With that said I figured she at least had a chance, but with her personality, I think she will be put down.
I did send emails out to friends and employee's at work prior to doing this to try to find her a good home, but no one replied.

I just feel so guilty though. Keeping the little one that most likely was the cause (him picking on her) and getting rid of the one we have had for 6 1/2 years.

Well again thanks to everyone for you support
The carpet will be cleaned this Friday and hopefully the smell gone.

That is really sad and it isn't a decision I would like to make. I'm sorry to agree with you, but she will likely be euthanized. No one wants a house-soiling cat.
