what to do??

hi, i have a 7 month old male neutered cat. He is completely litter trianed. Yesterday he was lying on a blaket next to the couch. He was "talking" to me like normal, and i didnt really think anything of it. I turned my back to answer the phone and he had pooped on the blanket, and i cought him as he was trying to scratch "litter" over it. I picke dhim up and said no and put him in his litter box. he knew that he had done something wrong. SO my question is, why did he do it? And will he do it again? and how can i teach him not to do this? ALso, when he was crying/talking with me, was he trying to tell me something?? thank you in advance for any help!

 

Hi and welcome to the forums! He could possibly have a bowel problem... Is this the first time he's done it? Has he done it since? Cats often "act out" when they are not feeling well. It's their way of telling us something is wrong. I suggest you just watch him closely for the next few days and monitor his behaviour. Take him in for a check up if he does it again.

Maybe someone else in here will pipe up with an alternate suggestion!

 

:m23: and welcome! What's his name and do you have pics to share? :m7: Here's some links you might want to read up on:

I agree with Halaroo. Your kitty may have a underlying health problem and you may need to consult with a vet.

 

welcome to the forum... sorry to hear your talkitive baby did a no no... but good luck with it!
