Hi there
Thank you in advance for reading my post.
This is my 1st post here. I was catless until about 3 years ago. I love my cats. I have a situation on my hands w/my cat that i dont understand.
I have 2 boy cats, both about 3 years old, cat # 1 was at my house 1 year before cat #2 arrived on the scene. It took at least 9 months to adjust for both cats and now they are pals.
During the adjustment period cat # 2, pooped on the bed about 3 or 4 times, in the guest room where the litter box is. I paid attention to the pattern and found out cat # 2 is a very clean cat, so exactly every two weeks I wash (hot soapy water) and change the litter box. Daily I scoop and toss. And I keep it nice for them.
Cat # 2 stopped popping on the bed after that, 9 months ago.
Recently, this month Cat #1 decides he is going to poop on the guest bed now. Cat #1 is a big fat cat and Cat #2 is smaller, so I do know whose poop is whose. I guess one of those things only a mother would know.
I'm wondering why Cat #1 who has always been the “good” cat would suddenly start pooping on the guest bed? he has done it 3 times now. do you think he is a copy cat? or a territorial type thing?
oh P.S.
I have 2 litter boxes for 2 cats, a smaller box and a bigger box with a cover on it. I use fresh step and scoop the poop daily, I noticed today the fat cat pooped in the smaller litter box, but missed totally, so he pooped behind the litterbox. In this situation, i think i should get a bigger box. what do you think,
Thank you very much.
