Hi, I think you need to try various solutions to see which, if any will work. It does sound like Meka might be stressed in which case starting with a litter tray in the bedroom might be a good idea, as might additional stimulation by was of toys and things to climb on in and around 'her' areas. Be careful to changing too much in one go - moving her food might be to dramatic. Maybe put an additional bowl of food down rather than removing the original one? I have a stressy cat who has occasional bouts of pooing and peeing where he shouldn't. The 3rd tray in the bedroom - where he spends most of his time - did the trick with us, as did feliway diffusers elsewhere. |

That's a good idea having an additional bowl in the bedroom. Hopefully she won't consider it too close to the litter tray. I could put the litter tray in one corner and the food and water in the other. The bedroom is big enough for a king size bed and room to walk around it so hopefully she won't think it is too close. She's never been much of a climber but does like cotton buds and balls of paper so could give her those in the bedroom. I think i should also make the effort to put pup in the kitchen and play with Meka in the bedroom ..... she was never a great player, so five minutes would suit her. She has a huge cat scratching post in the lounge (which leads into the bedroom) and comes out regularly throughout the day to use it whether the pup is there or not! Seems odd saying pup, Tonks is 8 months and three stone! not much of a pup any more! |

Souns stress related. Next time at vet if still doing it I'd ask to get her bloods checked - just in case there is anything else. I think the solutions offered above sound just right. Have to ask - what kind of dog is it? Quite heavy for it's age so I assume a big one. CM |

Hello! Well i put a litter tray in the bedroom today and Meka was so pleased she did a celebratory poo as soon as i had put it down! I also put some food and water up on a table we have in there. She loved that too. Technically i don't want her on tables but if she is happier with that then i will go with it......until we have a house and then she can have the whole of the upstairs free from Tonks! Thank you all for you help! I will consider a plug in thing as well. Tonks is a staffordshire bull terrierish.....mummy had a little bit of labrador in her so she is a little bit taller than a full stafford. She is very interested in what is going on in the bedroom but hasn't been let in to have a look. But Meka has been coming out of the bedroom and even sat on the sofa next to Tonks so seems to be happier already. I suppose now she know she has more options when it comes to toileting and eating. |

She had used the litter tray agian today. Unfortunately Tonks ram raided the bedroom door and ate the contents of the litter tray as soon as we got home. Meka just sat on the bed watching Tonks with an expression that said " you are the most disgusting thing i have ever seen!" |

Oh dear......things not as good as i had thought. She is definately seeming perkier and is loving having food and water in two places. She has continued to poo in the litter trays, but i have seen no wee in them. Last night i was reading my book in bed, and Meka was snuggled up next to me, she got down, had a nibble of food and some water, then i heard her weeing, but hadn't heard her moving litter. She was weeing in the corner on the carpet less that a foot from her litter tray!!!! She was perfectly happy, Tonks was in the kitchen asleep, adn had been in there all evening, the door was shut so she couldn't come out and annoy Meka. Meka has been out the garden and had also been playing with cotton buds with me early, rolling roudn on the lounge floor. So now i am not sure if it is stress. She looked like she just chose to wee there. Before i had washed the area with non bio washing liquid, but now i have read that it should be biological to get the smell out. I have bought some oxywash stuff that is supposed to get rid of the smell completely. I have washed the whole of the carpet on that side of the room, but i think it still smells. I have put two litter trays in there now, and even put one right on the spot that i saw her wee on. Any ideas of what i can do to stop her doing this ? Help!!!! |
