So, my normally well-behaved 1 yr old boy, Dobby, has all of a sudden taken to pooping outside of his litter box. The trouble started when he was at my ex gf Krystine's house for a week, when i did some travel for work. She has one of Dob's little sisters from the subsequent litter, about 6 months his junior. She kept finding loose poops out of the litter box, and assumed it was her kitten, as she'd had a rough start to potty training. (but has been good for months)
Then Dobby was caught in the act. He's been home 5 days, and has had some diarrhea and vomited once.. we already went to the vet, and he's on probiotics. We're not sure if it was from eating plants at Krystine's or its just stress from being in a different place for a week.. Either way, he's being monitored. But now 3 or 4 days consecutive, he's pooped either on a bath mat (3 times in 3 days) or just outside his box (today) I cleaned the bath mats the first 2 times, the 3rd time I threw them out, and he didn't go in the bathroom again. This morning he used his box, like normal, and this afternoon... then I came home from work tonight and this - right by the litter box!
Does anyone have any idea why he's doing this? or any idea how to get him back in the box?!
Frustrated and concerned papa. :arghh:
