I have two cats, mother and daughter. Mother is about 11, daughter about 9. They both use litter trays perfectly.
However, since I’ve had a new rug mom cat has decided to use it as her toilet.
She will just crouch on the rug to do her business in front of us, no attempt to go to her tray or go outside.
The rug has a long pile - does she think it’s some form of long, warm indoor grass?
I will make her an appointment for a check up, but our vet is only doing emergencies at the moment.
Anyone had anything similar, and what did you do to resolve it?
