Our rescue has been with us a couple of months now. He's had some ups and downs and we are still trying to do everything to make him happy (He always looks miserable, fed up and anxious!). He always used to do a poo over night in the litter tray, he was also doing one in the garden during the day. Recently there's been no overnight poo and he's been scared to venture further than the back door so I haven't really seen him poo in his usual spot. He's eating the same and no obvious signs of distress but I'm worried he's not pooing. How would I know if it's a problem? Dh thinks he's pooing outside but there's no way of knowing, his usual spots are clear.
He's still as scared as ever of everything. Spent a fortune on a micro chip cat flap and he'll only use it if we peg it open. This means neighbourhood cats he's terrified of constantly peer in! He won't go together than the back garden unless we walk him so I've been walking him up and down the street which he loves (dc think it's hilarious that I'm walking a cat). Any tips for getting him to use the cat flap independently? I've tried everything from treats to talking to rubbing his scent on it.
