My 19 year old cat has started to poo in the house. She doesn't do it often, once every 1 to 4 weeks. The vet has given her a clean bill of health, she is really amazing for her and and not at all stiff. The last 2 times she has done it is when we have both had to work long days and have been out of the house from 7am until 10pm. My husband thinks she may be pissed off with us for being out so long and doing it to spite us, but I am not sure cats think like that.
We have put a feliway diffuser in the house but that hasn't made a difference.
Her litter tray is emptied regularly, with a litter she likes and in the same place as always. She uses it fine the rest of the time.
She isn't having her "accidents" in the same place, or on the same type of surface, each time.
We used to have 2 cats, but she started this behaviour a while before the other cat died.
I won'der if she doesn't like the litter we use (clay granules), but that wouldn't explain why she does it infrequently and we have been using that litter for many years.
What can I do/try now? I have to sort this problem out soon as next month we have another cat arriving.
