I have two cats, aged 12 & 15, and two children, aged 3 & 1. Recently my two cats have started weeing and pooing in our rooms downstairs - lounge & dining room - as well as the litter tray & outside, which is what they usually do. They are indoor/outdoor cats - sleep at home with access to chip-controlled cat flap.
Youngest child is a speed crawler and has nearly beaten us to the cat poo on several occasions - and he will be walking really soon which only makes it harder. We clean the wee we see but there's every chance there's some we miss.
The cats have both been checked by the vets; no issues. And they've had a year to acclimatise themselves to child #2 and no new stresses or changes.
DH says it's becoming unmanageable and is concerned for the health of our youngest. He loves the cats but is beginning to talk about trying to rehome them (at their age I think it's unlikely)
Any ideas/advice/suggestions would be amazing. I've tried citrus/black pepper concoctions sprayed around the home with little success.
