Cat suddenly going outside box

14 years ago

Our 15 year old has started leaving us "presents" all over the house. This has just started In the last 2 months and seemingly ties in with the kitchen remodel which began Jan 3rd and was completed 2weeks ago. It actually has picked up in the last 2weeks....maybe she misses the noise and the contractors..ha ha! It's mainly poop, but she also peed just outside her box. Any thoughts, suggestions would be appreciated....thank you!

That is usually a sign of illness, so it's best to visit the vet first.

I agree with the previous post; we had an older cat that had kidney issues and as her health declined she started going outside the box. We took her to the vet.
