Thread: Pooping in the bath? why?

I have no idea why they do that but I can tell you that my domestic cat Tashie ( now deceased at the tender age of 17yrs 10mths) used to poop on top of the shower drain in one of the bathrooms many years ago if she got really stressed ( i say that because she spent most of her life stressing about something) It seemed to be if something scared her and she felt she couldnt hide while on the tray where she could hide in the bathroom and go but that is just a guess.

I never did anything about trying to change it and just cleaned up the shower and eventually she stopped doing it on her own. I figured better she does it where I can easily clean it that trying to move her and have her go in a bedroom or something.

Not much help I know but not the only cat that has done it.

Could a second tray in a hidden spot help??
