Hi everyone,
Im hoping someone can give me some advice,
My Puss Puss (cats name) is quite old now and eats a hell of alot and refuses to use a litter tray!!!
She goes under the stairs!!!!
I am bit pee'd off with the mess but no matter what i do puss wont use one and is always trying to nick food even tho she has a tin of food to herself a day!!!!

Has she always refused to use the tray, or is this a new development? Have you changed the tray's location, or used a different litter? Is she especially picky about it being very clean? Have you tried putting the tray under the stairs where she's going? Lots of questions, but need a little more info....has she had a checkup at the vets recently to rule out any medical problems?

This is a new thing with puss, I have put tray under the stairs but she went beside it!
Puss was a very very clean cat and the litter i use is called thomas litter and its changed every day but i clean it out when its used.
Puss went to vets and they found nothing wrong

Puss was a stray back in 1998 in london when i was 12.
She was a adult cat then so its a guess about her age.

Any change to routine, new additions, any upheavals in the house?

She is doing both

Other than increased appetite, have you noticed any other changes in her e.g. reduced eye site?
