Hi, I have a 6 month old Domestic Long Hair Male cat. He’s affectionate, playful, and intelligent. He is trained to go to the bathroom in the litter box. We have two litter boxes inside the house and he uses them perfectly, but for some reason when he poops it either doesn’t come out fully or snags onto his super fluffy tail. Then when he steps out the litter box it ends up falling on the carpet or somewhere else. What do I do about this?

I’m looking at buying a house that I love. The owners have a cat and a dog and I can smell the cat dander when I go in the downstairs (wood floors). I don’t smell it upstairs where there is carpet. Will the odor go away when the pets do (and the furniture and the owners)? Or is it in the walls? What can I do to get rid of it?

my kitten is 13 weeks old, and he has started to pull at the carpet, and at the furniture. He has a scratching post, so how do I make him use his scratching post and eliminate him scratching at the carpet and furniture?

I gave my 3 month kitten handmade cardboard scratching post. But he didn’t like it and loves scratching my husband’s fabric chair. So I bought better quality one with organic cat nip and taught him how to use it couple of times by putting his paws on the board and moving them like scratching(I didn’t use the cat nip because my neighbor advised me not to use it until he becomes 6 month) But he didn’t try to learn it and keeps scratching the fabric chair.

I don’t want to invest in his scratching post anymore, but should I buy him a carpet scratching post? I guess he loves its rough texture…

Or does anyone knows better idea to get him use the cardboard one?

Thank you!

female cat, about 5.5 years old. She has all her claws and likes to be outside a lot so i am not willing to de-claw her. I work full time and am gone from home a lot, so am not here to constantly keep an eye on her, and keep her away from the furniture and carpet. I’ve bought her one scratching post, thinking she would use that, and not scratch the furniture and carpeting on the stairs, but she showed no interest in it at all, and never used it. Help, i’m desperate! what can i do to stop her from clawing all the furniture?

My cat is only 4 years old and has NEVER missed the litter box. Now she’s peeing right in front of us on the floor, on the carpet, and now even on the end of the bed! Her litter box stays clean and she’s used the same litter since she was 6 weeks old. She’s very healthy, as far as we can tell, and we’re very loving with her. She’s fixed and has always been an indoor cat. Could it be something personality wise or vet related?

Basically my four month old Rabbit used to do her poo in a cat carrier case, I then cleaned it up, to take her to the vet, and when I came back she doesn’t do it there anymore, and doesn’t on the carpet, basically where ever she wants. She doesn’t chew or bite so she’d be the perfect house-bunny? I’ve tried gathering her feces and putting it all there hasn’t worked yet. 10 points for a good answer!

My cat Edwin is my best friend and I am a little concerned. I just moved back in with my parents today, and he hasnt gone to explore the house at all. He was exploring around my room for maybe an hour or so, and he would walk around, and then he tried to jump up on the window, but fell because he didnt realize that my parents windows dont have a place for him to perch. Then he had a run in with my stepdads cat and he was very agitated and hisses and growls whenever she is near, and she tried to fight him. I have kept them apart since then, and he has a separate litter box and food in my room. What I am concerned about is he is acting strange. Not like himself. he isnt eating anything, unless I give it to him once piece at a time, and when I put him next to his litterbox to remind him that he can use it, he hisses (and he NEVER hisses at me)

he is just laying on my bed next to me sleeping, he lets me pet him and all that, but he just isnt moving around, eating, using his box, which is unlike him because he doesnt lounge around much.

My mom thinks that he is scared of the new place he is in, and only feels safe on the bed.

Anything I should do to make him feel better? or just give him time? I am also worried because he has had accidents (pee on bed, poo on carpet) before, im a little worried he will forget to use his box.
