Hi All,
I'm new to this forum.
My 4 year old cat, who has been toilet trained since she was a kitten, has pooped on my bed twice this week. I have no idea why she's doing this. She's had minimal accidents in the past four years, maybe 2-3 a year. She's never had a peeing accident. She's been to the vet twice in the last month, she's healthy, no parasites, anal glands are okay, no UTI. For a while we were concerned she was constipated, so we started giving her more wet food, and giving her a laxative, she's not staining when she goes. She seems to be feeling okay, but before she poops, she runs all over the apartment like a crazy cat. During the holidays we did bring her to a cage free cat hotel for two weeks.. where she used a liter box, I think this may have affected her training, though she went back to using the toilet fine after we brought her home. Then a few weeks go by and, she's pooping on my duvet cover.
Should I go back to toilet training 101 and re-train her?
I've washed the duvet and cover, I doubt there's still a scent. Should I get a liter box?
Ugh!
Any advice is much much appreciated!
