She is more or less the same size as a few weeks ago, and could use the tray perfectly fine even while pregnant and large. But since she had the kittens, she scratches the litter like normal and then stands up instead of kneeling to poo, and the feces just falls off the edge of the tray onto my floor.
Why is she doing this? I have a cat just her size who can use the tray normally and it is always clean.
My cat won’t use a dirty litter box so I scoop it daily, but now I realize she won’t use dirty litter. So after I scoop it I add fresh litter. This doesn’t always work. But I don’t know what makes her find this a problem, she will hold her urine and feces until I change the litter. If i don’t notice she is not using her box she will use my bathtub. This is becoming expensive! What should I do?
Cat waste and Cat Litter boxes are potential biohazards. Toxoplamosis is one of the parasitic diseases spread by cats. Symptoms of toxoplamosis include fever, shortness of breath and neurological problems. If a mother-to-be contracts the disease in her first trimester, it can produce cysts in the brain of her unborn baby. This can lead to developmental abnormalities or even miscarriage. Other people with a weakened immune system, such as those infected with HIV & the elderly, may become seriously ill, and it can be fatal. The parasite can cause encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) and neurological diseases and can affect the heart, liver, and eyes (chorioretinitis). Women of childbearing age are at the greatest risk. Since our maids at Youve Got MAIDS are primarily women of childbearing age it would be morally wrong for our professional cleaning service to allow our maids to work with our Clients cats waste. Bottom line our house cleaners will vacuum up cat hair, but the maids dont touch cat litter boxes. To do anything else would be inconsistent with our guiding philosophy of treating our associates with respect and dignity.
