My Tara does this too. We have tried Deter, and it hasn't worked, but when she goes outside she doesn't eat it, only when she does one overnight she will eat it as she is alone in the kitchen and nobody's watching her. It's good to teach them to leave it. When they do the poop and try to get it tell them no, leave it. Tara seems to react to that and tonight she hasn't eaten it. Also they say you shouldn't let them see you to pick it up, that they feel they should clean up after themselves and then they start to eat it. I've also caught Tara eating cat poop outside when she was in the back garden of the lead. So that is for her, no more of the lead, that she eats her own poop is bad enough, but some unknown health status cat's poop, no way. It's a problem I hope she will outgrow, she is 4 months now. |
