I have a fifteen year old female cat. She has always been a regurgitator, but is now pooping on the second floor. Her littler box is on the first floor. Hopefully a trip to the vet for her and litter box style/location change will make life more enjoyable for her and less clean-ups for me. Much thanks for the advice given here.

I have a 19 year old male cat that has been pooping on the floor for a while now and just recently started peeing as well. I "discovered" a spot this morning and did a search for help on the topic and this post was the best advice I've seen. I have 2 litter boxes and the box on the main floor has been in the location the longest and I put another box on the second floor about 2 years ago. He pretty much never uses the one on the main floor anymore unless I see him acting funny and I physically put him in it. He does have health issues that include constipation, urinary infections, and arthritis. He is on a special diet and medication to help control these issues. This post helped me to realize there isn't much more I can do except place another litter box on the main floor in the area he seems to "use" the most. I think I will also invest in a black light which might be scary to see all the spots that I don't know about. Thanks for this website.
