Can I ask the vet. I have an old cat. She uses the litter box to urinate. However she never poops in the litter box, and always does it on the floor or bed where she normally lies down most of the day. How can I get her to poop in the litter box? (we also have another cat who is younger and somewhat aggressive and mean). |

I have had many cats. I’d first suggest that you take your cat to a vet and get her checked out – there’s a good chance she could be ill. Note, cats are very clean animals and would rarely poop in their beds if they can control it.
