My newest kitten decided she did not like the litter box and would poo everywhere but inside of it. I had a round covered type box, called the bouda. Maybe you have heard of it or seen it. Anyway, I thought she was sick or felt neglected so I would just pick it up. I would pick up the poo, lay it inside the litter box, then put her inside with it. I know that it is not good to spank or yell at the kitten when something like this happens. I know it’s very frustrating when you have to clean up a smelly mushy mess. Knowing darn well that the smell or residue of it will never come out of the carpet. No matter what it will not come out. I ended up bleaching my carpet thinking the smell would go away. Well, it did but she still would poo in the same spot. If I were to put something there to block it, like a box, she would just go somewhere else. The thing was, she would pee in the litter box but not poo?!
So after a month or so of trying and bleaching my carpet all up, I decided to head to the pet store, petco.com
I was browsing the store in search of a topless litter box but put something over it so the litter does not fly everywhere. I found this mini white tarp
cover for large topless litter boxes that I had to have! I just hoped that my little picky miss priss would poo in it! I almost considered giving her up because it got so bad. She would just constantly go everywhere, unless I could catch her in the act. If I put her in there she would go.
Anyway I tried the new box and presto! She stopped going outside on the carpet! I was so happy that I did not have to wake up every morning to a big present in the corner somewhere.
