For a few months now, Miley, my oldest cat and my favorite (shhhhhhhh, don't tell the others) .... has been "missing" the litter box and having her bowl movements in the general vicinity -near by, that is, but not in the box. I struggled with this in silence and all the while fearing she may have a problem and should see a vet.
To make a long story short, I noticed that she would hide when doing the dirty deed and would "go" under a shelf, or behind the litter box, always hiding it. Well, I think I figured out that SHE was hiding and needed more privacy.
I rearranged the spare room with the six litter boxes. I put three in other parts of the house, in quiet, private places. And guess what, it is working. For the past week there have been no accidents and Miley has been happily using the other boxes.
I also noticed that JuniRose, my dear problem child, stands beside the boxes in the spare room, while the other poor cats try to use them. Juni likes to make the other cats miserable. That is how she dominates.
Anyway, I am so happy that Miley is happy now. I know she didn't like soiling her Meowmie's house and room.
