Our family cat is 18 and dearly loved. He was hit by a car when he was younger which broke his jaw and smashed his pelvis. The vet put him back together although he no teeth and has always limped. Over he past year he stopped using his litter tray for poos although he does wee in them. Obvs we change them reg and use hideously expensive soft cat litter as we though his age might make it difficult for him. He has very loose stools and has 5/6 per day - generally on a floor somewhere. We have put paper down and he used to use that but now it's completely random. We have gone thorough every type of food and none make any difference - the vet says there is nothing he can do. He also had hyperthyroidism and had tablets but they gave him kidney problems and he was so miserable on them. He constantly howls for food (because of hyperthyroid) and is in and out the house constantly. My husband is due to go back to work soon and we have no idea how to manage this without coming home to a sea of poop. With winter coming and his age, we are worried about leaving him out all day. Please please advise......
