Title: Cat not using her litter tray
Post by: peejay1977 on September 05, 2011, 08:41:23 AM
Should I be worried? I don't think I should, in fact I should probably be thankful. She's going out A LOT more now and signals me numerous times a day to be let out but I haven't changed her litter in literally months and its bone dry. Even when we are out all day I assume she knows she'll be going out at a certain time so holds it. Hope its normal?

Someone else asked the exact same thing a few days ago so it must be catching! If she's otherwise happy and healthy then it sounds like she's preferring the great outdoors.

It's a good idea to keep the litter tray in case she is caught short and she can also have the option to use it when it's too cold outside. I predict she will start making more use of it in the coming weeks!

Yeah she seems it, shes VERY vocal and seems to know just how to let me know she wants either feeding or letting out so I don't think its a problem, just wanted to make sure cause I don't recall the last time I saw her drinking from her water bowl, I change it every day but NEVER see her drinking from it, she eats wet food so I assume she gets enough from that?

My sister's cat always did poos outside and weed inside, he used wait to go out.  My own cat infact would prefer to go out unless it's windy  :evillaugh: I think though he was made to go outside at his previous home  :( and my sister's cat was a stray.  As Helen says it's still good to have a tray - plus you can keep an eye on their toileting in case they aren't well.
