Cat pooping outside the tray any advice
by LP
(UK)
I have two Siamese cats one male one female both under two years old. One of my cats or maybe both keeps pooping outside the tray. I have two trays for them. One in the bathroom and one on the balcony with cat flap. They both seem to use the one in the bathroom most of the time and I change or scoop every day. I often find little lumps of poop in the tray and outside and also in the hallway outside the bathroom. It seems that they start in the tray but run off before they have finished. They are always running around and I am not sure if this is because they just get excited and want to play with each other or just pooping where they want to. Luckly they are fed on pro plan dry food so it's always little hard lumps and easy to clean up. I have used an open tray and a closed tray but no change. It is not all the time maybe two or three times a month. They are healthy, happy playful cats. Is there anything I can do to get them to finish all there poop in the liter tray. At the moment myself and my husband just pick it up and flush it away. We don't bring the cats attention to it as we are not sure which kitty it is.
By the way they never wee outside the tray and are very clean apart from this problem. This has been happening as long as I have had them so its not a new problem.
