Hey everyone,
I was just wondering if you could help me out or give me suggestions on two things.
(1) I've decided to litter box train Nicco. Everything has been going well until recently. During the day, he'll run to the box to do his business but if he's walking around or playing later at night (usually around 10pm-12am) he'll walk past the litter box, onto the carpet, and pee around the same area...EVERY NIGHT! I don't get it. If he knows he needs to go, i don't understand why he PASSES his litter box to walk all the way to the carpet and pee.
I've cleaned the area very thoroughly too! I even bought a spray thats supposed to make him not want to pee in that area anymore but nothing seems to be working.
Tonight, i saw him walk to his litter box, make a few circles (as he usually does before he's about to...do his business lol) and then he went out of the box. When i went to look, i noticed he hadn't done anything. So i went back to watching tv when after about 5 minutes i noticed it was really quiet. I called for him and he didn't come so i went to look for him. I found him in the basement walking around and as i went to pick him up, i saw that he went poo on the blanket downstairs!!!!!!
UGH.
(2) When he pees in the litter box, he does this weird thing where he'll put his two front feet in the box and his two back feet are out of the box. He'll go like that..it's like he THINKS he's doing the right thing and peeing in the box but really, it ends up outside. I don't know why he doesn't just fully go in the box?? I was told to get a bigger box, which i did, but he still does the same thing...
Help please??
