My cat keeps pooping on the floor!
I adopted a 7 year old cat in mid-november. She pooped on the floor a few times during the first month, but lately has been doing it more often. The weird thing is that she also poops in her litter box, actually she poops there most of the time. It's just every once in awhile (and more often lately) that she leaves her droppings just outside her litter box, or very nearby. A few rare times she has also pooped in the kitchen on the rug. Why is she doing this? How can I get her to stop? She uses her litter box for pooping and urinating, so why the random droppings?

Maybe give some free advice about: Pets?
my cats do that too usually means they want us to get off our ass and clean it we dont like skidding around in our crap and they dont either

Well because she is quite old she might not be able to hold it long enough to get there on time.
My advice is put her litter box in the room she spends most time in that way she might be able to get there quicker.
If that doesnt work there may be a medical reason and you should take her to the vets just to get her checked.
Hope this helps hun

Do you know anything about her past? Maybe she used to be an outside cat where she could defecate anywhere. The litter in the litter box has a scent that attracts her instinctively. That or she is getting a little old and she can't hold long enough, or it could be medical. Maybe take her for a check up at the vet.

K well i think you may be feeding her too much because usually when a cat does that it means that shes too full and has to go poop but cant make it to the litter box in time so try cutting down on the amount u give her also you could get pet diapers and try those for a bit and if you dont want to do that then wait for your cat to poop and then point to the litter box eventually she will get it and stop leaving the little dropplings everywhere i hope i helped good luck :D
