How do i get my cat to stop pooping on the floor?

Question

My cat is 8 years old. He started pooping on the floor when we first moved to our new house 4 years ago for a few months he was fine then he started pooping on the floor so when we would feed him we started closing the bathroom door so that he wouldn't p**p all over the house after he had eaten, his litter box is in the same room that we feed him, but he still refuses to use the litter box to p**p. How can i get him to stop pooping on the floor and start using the litter box for pooping instead of just peeing?

Answer 1

Hmmm...Did his/her parrents die or was already adopted? new borned kittens with their parrents are quite imperitive because they're the ones who teach it how to use the litterbox/eat etc.Otherwise,Guess who's job it is?

Is it a stray cat?

Take it to the vet?

Or something wrong with the litterbox?

Can you Buy the roll and clean litter box??

Don't close the door whenever ur using the bathroom,whenever ur at the bathroom,take the litterbox out near the bathroom so just incase the Cat can poo in it,k?

Change your litter brand.

Answer 2

obviously ur cat is verry smart he will need 2 litter boxes get a yellow 1 and put a number 1 on it and a brown 1 and put a number 2 on it

Answer 3

Sometimes cats suddenly decide that they no longer want to use the same box for peeing and pooing.  Have you tried adding a second one to see if that solves the problem?  Is the litter box too close to his food dishes, as that could be another reason it's putting him off using it.  At the other end of the scale, he might be scent marking if he feels his territory is under threat.
