great pics - LOOOOOOOOOOOVE the tail poofage. I think my little ones must be taking lessons from that cat - they both have lotsa tail poofage - which just cracks me up every time I see it.

You haven't seen poofage until you've seen it on a Siamese. Looks just like a bottle brush.

my tonkinese (a cross between a burmese and a siamese) has extreme tail poofage, but she has to be pretty frightened to do it. it does look just like a bottle brush!

Everytime I go out of town, my kitty poops all over the house. He is not alone, my DH is here. My DH says he acts nuts when I'm gone. He says he paces the floor and walks around like he is searching the house for me. The last time I was gone I called and DH told me he had to put my kitty in "kitty jail" which was closed up in the laundry room.

Anybody have any ideas on how to deal with this problem?

Your kitty misses you Kady!!! It's definitely behavioral. My previous kitty used to poop outside the box whenever my sister's kitties came to stay. I never found a perfect solution - it was his way of objecting to the situation.

It does clean up easier than pee, if that is any solace. LOL

Best I can suggest - your DH should spend "quality" time with the kitty - might make kitty miss you less. Keep the litter box as spotless as possible - gives kitty less of an excuse - but that may not help. And, close him/her up when he's out of the house, or whenever it seems to be happening.

Also, my kitties often have "crazies" just before pooping. That might be the time for DH to watch carefully and if any bathroom behavior is shown, to pick up kitty and take him/her to the box.

Good Luck!!

It makes me sad to know how much my kitty misses me. I wish I could take him with me when I go. I told DH he should show him more attention but he laughs at me. He says he just tolerates the cat. I think he's jealous of the attention I give the kitty.

Jambalaya is so cute. How did he/she get the name? Are you are your DH by chance from Louisiana?

DH won't let me get a new kitty. I would love too though.

Kady, check out Feliway, or one of the other natural aromatherapies for cats. It'll calm your little monster down so he doesn't have to spend time in Kitty Jail.

LOL, I read Kady's post as the cat wasn't the only one pooping all over the house. LOL.

Kitty Question

We recently adopted two kittens. We have two older cats. The problem is that our kittens like to eat the cat chow and the cats like to eat the kitten chow!! They all get a little bit of each but do you think this will be really bad for kittens?}

I imagine the kittens will do just fine. This 'something different for kittens' is fairly new. Before that I had lots of kittens that were raised on plain old cat food and they did just fine, were healthy and lived to a good, ripe old age.

This is Holly. She's 15 years old. She hangs out on my hubby's desk most of the day to keep him company and then on his lap at night. :-)

Awww, they are both so sweet, Hypermom. Now little Holly LOOKS like a kitten to me. And your Samantha is just gorgeous--she glows with health.

We adopted Holly when she was 7 mos. old...she was living in an alley when the county picked her up. I went to the shelter with my sister. She was going to adopt a kitten. I saw Holly, saw that the next day she was going to be put down, and the rest is history. She's always been small..weighs between 6 and 7 pounds. Samantha was born at a pet rescue and was running around the place the day I saw her. She hasn't changed. lol

Holly looks so much like one of my 18 yr. old cats! Some cats never lose their kitten faces!

Hypermom, first saw your kitties in HP's Update today. So cute. I love that Samantha likes to hang out with you while you are on the computer.
