Why would a litter box trained cat all of a sudden not use the litter box?

Have you had the cat evaluated for bladder infection, kidney infection, or kidney disease? Litter-box-laying is often related to urinary urgency or bladder spasms, where the animal feels the need to constantly "go". Take him to the vet and get a urinalysis done.

A- They are tired and lazy and are not very motivated to get in to their bed

C- New animals invaded their space and have been shoved into this confined area.

∙ 15y agoI would take your cat to its veterinarian right away, i dont want to scare you but my cat [3 years old] was laying in his litter box, so we took him to the vet and he had an intestinal blockage and needed immediate surgery. good luck, i hope that is not the case. There is something wrong, more than likely with his bladder area, or bowels. Cats don't like to be in the same place they go to the bathroom. This is a signal, you need to listen! I'd take it to the Vet ASAP. Call first and explain what is going on, they might know of something you can do for now, or might need the notice. Good Luck!

∙ 13y agoSeveral reasons: if the cat is a female, she could be in heat or pregnant. If a male, he could be upset or feel overcrowded if you have anything new to the environment (like another cat, new place, etc.). Even seemingly small things can make a cat refuse to use the litter box; a change of the litter box or the litter itself can put off a cat if the change is not to their liking.
Another reason is the cat could have developed a Urinary Tract Infection or has become constipated. Both are very painful to the cat, and the cat will associate that pain with the litter box. A cat in pain will often try and find soft places to use, like a bed or other soft piece of furniture.

∙ 15y agoThe best answer is "because it's a cat." Some of my cats never sleep in the litter box, some sleep in it all the time, and others change from not sleeping in it to sleeping in it.

Why do cats go to the bathroom on the floor and not in the litter box?
Cats will poop on the floor if you do not train them to. If you train your cat, and it still poops on the floor, spray him/her will a spray bottle filled with water, and if they do not stop either way, they were raised the wrong way, and you will have to put down something on the floor that is noisy when you step on it, on the place they go to the bathroom.
