Silly Cat Question

[GallopNTec]

Can anyone tell me why not 1 of my 3 cats will catch the mice that have invaded my home BUT at least 3 times a week will leave one on the doorstep( most of one anyway).
Thanks!

Can someone tell me why 1 of my 2 cats has stopped using the litterbox? I even have two litterboxes set up in different sections of the house

I have the same problem. One of mine craps next to the box.

That's the worst...I will pick up pooh anytime over cleaning up pee from the carpet. Blasted cats are getting ready to get booted out of the house.

All you cat owners should know by now that cats:
Do what they want
When they want to do it
Where they want to do it
How they want to do it
AND
They really don't care if you like it or not
That's just the way cats are....
I know because we have 2....

Because they're leaving your their 'prize.' It's really quite a compliment!

Same here, it's been that way forever. She'll pee in the box then crap next to it,no matter where I put the box. And she'll be outside and come in to crap!

Elimination outside of the litterbox can mean several things. One of my problems was with a cat that was just too damn fat to fit inside the covered litter box, and the other problem was a bit more serious. When a cat pees outside of the box, it may be an indication that the cat is suffering from a urinary tract infection. It has come to associate the litterbox with the pain it feels when it pees. If your normally litter trained cat is suddenly peeing everywhere else, have it checked by your vet. Changes in household routines can lead to litter mishaps too, and some cats are just a s s holes, and will poo in your shoes to get even with you for spending time with another family member.

As far as the mice thing goes...it's probably just catching the less clever mice. The ones that have invaded your home are better at hiding and the ones outside are easy prey.

I think mine is being an ass. It started when we left for Thanksgiving. I changed litter and we left and the neighbor kids fed them. Since then I went back to the original litter, then bigger pans and now I just pick up the shiat.

Get a dog. They think cat poop is a rare treat, and will clean it up for you before you ever see it.

I have a dog, he only eats the ones inside the box! I do have to check his blanket frequently cause he likes to save them for later.

I hate when my dogs eat the cat poop from my neighbor's cat. Then again, my Lab does eat baby birds. She has varied tastes.

My Lab got his head stuck in the covered cat box once! Boy was he embarrassed(sp?)
He'd "sneak" off to have cat cookies, and come back with litter all over his nose, trying to act cool. He was the best!

If he was peeing he would be outside by now. Cat pee is one of the top 5 nasty smells of all time.

I have the opposite problem......the cats use the litterbox, and so does my Jack Russell. The new beagle puppy obviously has been watching, tonight I caught him squating in the litter box. Thank goodness I have a basement with a concrete floor......the Jack Russell lifts his leg in the litter box and it does not always make it inside, but all over the newspaper around it.......

And OMG is it hard to get out of carpet and furniture.
