Some cats do things to show you how they feel

by TODD PERRY
(Bushnell, Florida)

Some cats do things to show you how they feel including leaving poo on your floor. Do not let some of these supposed cat experts say cats do not poop on your floor to show they are upset with you.

These facts are based on outdoor cats and are biased because of it. Under a lot of circumstances this will be true, but others it is not.

I can tell you for a fact cats can and will poop on your floor out of a perfectly clean litter box, in another room to show they are upset with you.

We have an indoor cat that has never been outside in his life. He was raised inside by bottle before his eyes were open and has been away from other cats his entire life, making this case different.

Our cat when he gets upset with us will poop on the floor by my chair or in the same room that does not have the clean litter box.

He has been checked by vets for any health problems and have not found any which does not mean there is not one.

He does this when he wants food. If you give him a kind he does not want to eat and you just leave it there until he gets hungry he will walk right up beside you or in front of you and drop you a surprised gift.

We go through plenty of wasted cat food because he eats certain flavors and brands of food then changes his mind the next time. He may eat shredded turkey and gravy today but a few days from now he will not even touch it.

He is like a person. He wants something he has a taste for at the time and us not speaking cat can not tell what it will be.

Keep in mind when he does not get the food he wants he will and does leave us a present sometimes if we wait till he gets hungry and eat what we gave him.

This is the only time he will do this and it's over food, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that cats can and will show they are upset with you.

To say that cats and dogs don't get upset with people and respond by showing it is false.

My cat
by: Anonymous

My cat won't poop on the floor when he's upset, rather if he wants outside and no one gets up to let him out, he'll go somewhere where everyone can see him, and he'll pretend to spray on something, sometimes even our legs.

Why do cats poop in front of you?
by: Anonymous

Our 14 year old cat who has lived mostly outside (brought inside at night) will poop on the floor in front of us when she is upset - mainly when we have visitors. But what I really want to know is why when I am outside gardening she follows me around the yard, pooping in the garden beds and pot plants right where I am working constantly. She is regularly wormed and in good health - Is she trying to tell me something?

Don't reward wrong behavior
by: Bob @ Cat Illnesses

We once had a cat that behaved exactly the way you describe it here. I think it's important to teach a cat that it's wrong to poop on the floor as soon as it starts this kind of behavior. If you wait too long, a cat will do it again and again - it may even start thinking that it gets rewarded (with food...) for doing it.

Really well thought out
by: Jake @ Cat Illnesses

You present a strong argument. I personally think that you're right. Cats will relieve themselves on your floor if they are upset with you. They know where the litter box is and use it 99% of the time. It isn't just a silly mistake. That being said, I think that you can't just go along with it and keep giving in to their demands like changing their cat food frequently. A picky cat is not one you want to be the owner of, trust me. A small punishment goes a long way.

Cats and feelings
by: caren gittleman

I sooo agree with the person who just commented ahead of me.

Since the cat has been thoroughly checked for a health problem and it has been deduced that he has no health problem, to me the problem lies with the OWNER.

Sorry but that is how I feel. I have had 2 cats (the first one for 18 yrs) and my 2nd is 3 and a half years old. They both have gotten upset with me and NEVER, EVER exhibited this sort of behavior.

Maybe the cat is pooping because you keep changing the BRANDS (not the flavor but BRANDS of food) which you are not supposed to do without giving them at least a week of having the 2 foods mixed together. Poor thing probably has an upset stomach and the runs! Sorry but I would be pooping too!

cat poop

These cats need to be broken of the habit then using whatever methods are needed. This is a very unacceptable behaviour coming from cats.
