My cat poop in the bath

Teach it to **** in the toilet?

Next time it ****s in the bath, take the cat to the bath, pick up the piece of **** (make sure it's watching) and throw it in the toilet then point at it repeatedly.

Only ever had cat accidents when they've been accidentally shut in a room for the day (when sleeping somewhere hidden and Us assuming he was outside). In that case they pooped in my dads slipper xD

My cousin's cat did this once. I'm not sure how they know.

Would've been good for your skin if you'd run a hot bath, mixed it together and then soaked in it for a while. Much better than the majority of today's bath foams.

hahaha ill try to remember that next time!

Yes you can buy litter trays that are fit over your toilet. At first it covers the whole thing and then the next stage is make a small hole in the middle which keeps getting slightly larger over time until you can take it away completely.

Here's one cat that's been trained using one (don't watch if eating!!!!)

They don't "know" in the sense that they do it there to save you the cleanup... For some reason, some cats just seem to have an urge to poop on smooth surfaces.

They watched their owners doing the same.

bringing dead animals by a cat, thats the cats way of giving you a present?

Yes. It's paying tribute to you.

Excellent!

Saves you a fortune in cat litter... that you then have to pay for in toilet paper instead

It's also another being that can be in there when you're desperate to go

your cat doesnt have a litter tray?

Emphacy · 20 Jul 2012 at 15:00

My cat poo'd on my desk once, not even kidding. I spanked that cat so hard it did it again on its way off the desk.

On topic, it's natural, they know you use the bathroom for the same thing, but the bath seems natural to them because it's flat like a litter tray.

Isnt pointing something unique to humans?
I dont think any other animals understand it. Cats certainly dont.

Yes, it means nothing to animals. They just look at the end of your finger.

It could actually have something wrong with it.

The bath is cold, inflamed or swollen bowels can feel hot.

In order to reduce its pain it may be going in the cold bath rather than the litter tray (Assuming it has one.)

My cat used to **** in the bath all the time... No idea why she chose to do it there. At first I had the same reaction as you (the "better in the bath than on the floor", not the "she must be clever"), but eventually it really got on my nerves - every time I forgot to shut the bathroom door I'd come home to a nice pile of stinking cat turd in there. Pristine, untouched litter trays and turds in the bath.

In the end I took to leaving an inch or so of water in the bath. Eventually that discouraged her from trying, but it didn't help the dampness issue.

The only think I could think of is that the surface of a bath probably seems, to a cat, quite similar to the bottom of a litter tray.

Cats & water, that can be fun.

One time one of the cats we had took a big **** on the corner of the bed & our dog started eating it. It was nasty to see, but we thought "we don't have to clean it".

This is why I keep coming back here.

Not strictly true, cats have no concept of pointing and will just look at your finger. Dogs do though and can be trained to respond to a variety of gestures, including pointing. My dog will pick up the toy I point at or go in the direction I point when required.
