My can has recently stopped using her litter box to do her poos. I have done a bit of research and can't seem to figure out why? Her litter box is clean and she seems her normal self personality wise. The only thing that comes to mind is the other day, I made the mistake of putting sardine oil on top of her wet food and when I returned from work the next day, there was diarrhoea all through the house. Since that day, she has continued to poo on the tiles and carpet. Unfortunately, it's always when I'm not home so I can't even catch her in the act. What can I do to get her using her tray again?
