Cat Problem
This morning I woke up to Buster scratching our bedroom door - he had pooped right in front of it. Then I checked and he peed all over the storage room floor right in front of litter box. This has happened twice this week. I am furious and dunno what to do. I plan on going to the pet store tonight and getting cat litter and completely dumping his box out and putting new litter in there and see if that works. Sound like a good idea? And now I have to get a new brook too since he peed all over that.
Re: Cat Problem
How often do you clean his litter box? (ie: not just scooping it, but dumping it out, washing w/ soap and refilling w/ new litter)
The two most common reasons for this kind of behavior are dirty litter box (cats have a sensitive sense of smell) and urinary tract infection.
Have you had any recent changes in your house? New furniture? New placement of litter box? That can affect things too.
Hope you can figure this out soon!

Do you have more then one cat? Some cats require their own litter box and don't like to share.
Also some cats like to have a fresh box. Requiring us to scoop daily and dumping and scrubbing the box as often as once a week.
If those things don't fix the problem it might be health related and a vet trip would be in order.
Good luck, I hope it isn't anything major.
If she keeps having the problem after changing the litter, I'd take her to the vet just in case. This happened once and the cat had a UTI.
GL - cat pee is the WORST
Yeah just an FYI, UTI's in cats (esp. in boys) can be fatal. So that is why a trip the vet may be in order. Good luck.

I am going to completely wash out and put all new litter in there and go from there. I think I am going to scoop out every other day and see how that goes. The every 3 days was working but now it night need to be every other day.
You might seriously want to add another box too. My two cats used to be fine with one box, but then we started having problems with one of them going outside of the box. I added one more box and we haven't had any problems since then.
And I agree that a vet appointment is in order if you have anymore problems with this.
Good luck!
