On of my girls prefers to poop on the floor in front of the litter box. We don't know why, but it's like half the time. Asked the vet, but nothing's wrong with her, it's just her preference. Tried changing the litter, giving her a different box, different location. No difference. Half the time in the box, half the time in front of it. No idea. Cat is crazy.
My male cat likes to walk while pooping and half of it always ends up on the floor as well ๐
My pup does that! For him, it's because his aim is bad. He'll get all feet on the pee pad, cantilever his little butt over the edge, and think that's good enough.
We ended up getting a set of machine washable bathmats to rotate through, for next to the pee pad.
(he's an old pup, so his bladder no longer lasts the night and no one wants to do 3 am walkies. He's also got doggie dementia, so I'm not worried about training him to have better aim)
A lot of these stories remind me it could always be worse. Cats are funny creatures.
Most of mine are feral so they have unusual behaviors even for cats. Same girl howls like a black metal vocalist at night, first time she did it we were sure there was a wild animal in the house. There was, of course, she just chose to stay.
