My cat poos in the bath and not in the litter box. I've tried many ways to teach it. But in vain. What should I do?

    Tried placing the litter box in the bath?
    I did read that sprinkling cat food (dried I would assume) should deter him/her.
    Maybe try leaving the plug in and an inch or so of water in the bottom of the bath, while leaving the litter box in the bathroom room itself.

    Leave a small pool of water in the bath, enough to wet their feet.

    Hopefully they will soon associate the bathtub with the discomfort of the water and avoid it.

    And for the time being leave puss's litter tray close by the bathtub.

    Ps if the water doesn't work, a few empty soda cans - enough to rattle against each other on the bottom of the bathtub might also work.

    Same way you teach it to poo outside, just whenever the cat does it, scoop it up and place it in the litter tray, cover it a little in whatever litter you use and after a couple of days the cat should register his scent there and go there from now on. You've let it go on too long though, whenever any animal makes a mess where it shouldn't you have to properly clean it up instantly else if the cat smells it there it will see that as it's spot to do his business. Good luck.

    lay tin foil loosely in the tub... he/she will stop... they don't like the feel of walking on it or the noise it makes. my cat used to poo in our floor plants, we put tin foil down and he stopped going in it, can only assume it will work for the tub too... good luck
