| ![]() This is the most annoying thing I have ever experienced. I can handle the constant accidents in the house despite taking her outside for 30 minutes and having her pee there and come back inside and do it in the house right in front of us. But eating the cat poop is just gross.....it makes her breath smell nasty, so I don't want to snuggle with her. I'm afraid its going to make her sick. We even put the cat box up high and she somehow climbed into it and knocked the whole entire thing down. Now she is hiding cat poop under the furniture or in her cage. Help....I'm really upset and at my whits end with this. ![]()

| ![]() Yummy, cat poop! They all seem to love it. What if you put a baby gate between your pup and the litter tray? Or, could you get one of those electronic self-cleaning litter trays?

Lovin' 2 Girls Donating Member | ![]() How old is your pup? House training sometimes takes awhile, and LOTS of consistency and PATIENCE! Please, don't give up on her over this. Now, as far as the cat poo eating - I can totally empathize with the frustration! We don't even have cats, but the ferrell cats in the area seem to think my backyard is a litter box. I can't even let Abigail out, because if there is any within her reach, she finds it and scarfs it down. ![]() ![]()

| ![]() Cat poop is at the top of Roxy's food pyramid. Bird poop is next in line. I had to put the litter box up so now she follows the cats around with her nose in their butts all the time. If they are laying down, she tries becomes a mobile butt cleaner. She digs it up outside (a little tougher now that the ground is frozen) and there's nothing I can do to stop her. We have to steer clear of the pond on our walks because of all the goose poop there - another delicacy. I understand it has something to do with the fact that they like cat food so much and if recycled is the only way to get it, well then, recycled it is. Good luck and I hope your baby outgrows it. I am still waiting for Roxy to. ![]()

| ![]() Last week my son carried LillyBelle to me and said--"what does she have all over her face, nose and mouth?" I looked and said SHE'S BEEN IN THE KITTY BOX!! HER FACE WAS COVERED IN LITTLE BLUE/WHITE PEBBLES! Guess she ate the scented litter, along with the poopoo. She threw up all day and during the night, I had to give her sugar water to keep her from getting hypoglycemic-she just felt terrrible. The next day she could keep down some broth and finally after two days-real food. I had to treat her like a sick child. I always keep the kitty box scooped up, but I must have missed a "scooping, I got a short 3in box and put the kitty box on top of that in the laundry room, so she cant reach it now. |

| ![]() From my experience No they will not stop, if they can find poop they will eat it, be happy she doesnt eat her own. We no longer have a cat because of this. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by rachelsyorkie; 02-10-2007 at 12:29 AM. |

| ![]() Thanks Rachel your info was very helpful and yes I too love my Yorkie and will go to all expense to keep him healthy and safe. He is on a heart worm once a month-is this different from the heartworm meds? |

| ![]() My toy poodle used to eat our cat's litter until I placed the litter pan in the bathtub where he couldn't get in. It was too slippery for him to jump over the tub - and he hated baths so he just wouldn't go there. You could try that. |
