Tonight I've caught my male neutered one year old cat peeing on the kitchen floor. DH later heard scratching as if he was buying so put him in the litter box and he pooed. Obviously he'd have done this on the floor if he wasn't caught.
He's always been really good never done this. Last year we went in holiday leaving my brother to cat sit except he did a really bad job! Left him alone too long and we got home to scratch marks in our walls fairly high up he must've been climbing the walls.
We're about to go away for 2 weeks, the cases came out yesterday and he's been sulky ever since. So is he acting up to this thinking he's being left alone or is he ill? I don't know how many times him doing it would indicate an illness.
