https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/clinical-discussions/18173/cat-poo I have just rescued a gorgeous ginger kitty called Boris who is very special, think he was hit by one too many cars and his brain function may not be up to scratch but he has fitted in purr-fectly with my other cats and dog.

I tried loads of things - more trays, larger trays, covered corner tray, newspaper/inco pads in area around trays etc only thing I&#39;ve found helped is a kitten litter sold at pets at home. It has a herbal attractant in it and is much finer than normal litter. That might be worth a try (b prepared for it to go everywhere tho!) good luck and if you find any other solutions please share.

Could pee in the tray no problem but when he adopted the position for a number two he sort of spread out a bit and the tray just couldnt accomodate his bulk. We now have a covered tray but before that had a drip pan from the garage which did a very good job</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/132741?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 06 Jul 2012 13:45:17 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:5cdfac85-f61d-470e-96ea-783a537a82b1Gemma Burden RVN<p>Do you know if he always went to the toilet outside before you had him?&nbsp; I got my cat when he was seven and he was very set in his ways, refusing the stay in at night and would never use a litter tray regardless of how long he was kept in for.&nbsp; Now he is 16 and a half he will stay in a bit better and will use a tray if its really cold out, but we never managed to change his habits.&nbsp; Have you tried filling the tray with soil?&nbsp; I have heard of a few cats that have hated normal cat litter but will use a tray if filled with soil.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/132740?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 06 Jul 2012 13:25:30 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:9c1a11fc-806b-4bcc-a390-6f14f6b302cbKatie Mansfield<p>Put a plastic dust sheet down with some newspaper over the top and place the tray on that - will at least stop him messing your carpet. Value dust sheets in Tescos are only about a pound.</p> <p>(Our cat was perching on the litter tray and pooing over the edge!!)</p> <p>We got one of those litter trays that look like a cat carrier to stop this problem. It was OK for a while but now our lot are older they&#39;ve gone off it and prefer the open ones so we&#39;re back to the same problem as you <img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/new/Sad_smiley.png" alt="Sad" /></p> <p>K x</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
