Hope someone can help!
We have 2 cats, both aged 17, yet in tip top condition.
They normally happily go outside to do their business and we have an electronic cat flap, so never have any probs with other cats in the house etc
3 weeks ago however, one of them was attacked by a neighbours cat outside on our back patio. She subsequently developed Cystitis, through the stress of it. We took her to vets, who gave her an injection and some cystese. Has thankfully done the trick, and the mad spraying / blood she had in her urine has stopped. Although she still seems a little anxious.
We also put down a litter tray for her, so she wouldn't have to go outside. However, she tends to poo outside the litter tray - in our dining room - same area each time. Although we act as soon as we spot the poo, maybe we are not cleaning it thoroughly enough? Although she did once poo in the litter tray last week! So am confused as to why she will happily pee in the tray, but poo elsewhere? We work full time, so accompanying her outside is impossible during the day. We bought a feliway diffuser last week, but that may be too soon to take effect? Our other cat is fine and happily still goes outside and is fine. We can't shut her out of the dining room, as a) there isn't a door to shut, and b) it's other exit, leads into the kitchen and the back door, where the cat flap is.
Have read the guidance on here, but none of it really seems to fit my scenario! Anyone experienced similar? How did you get your cat to either poo in the tray or start going outside again? Have attached a pic of the cat in question!
Thanks!
