Bit of a bummer start to the day

[ciroccoj]

Daylight Savings Time caught us off-guard, can't get Skype up to call my cousin, can't call her either, one-year anniversary of the Japan tsunami on the news, cat pooped on couch again, Justin's Chinese Cooking For Kids class for Monday has been cancelled, and my mom would've been sixty-eight today.

Oh well. Think I'll take on our bathroom closet to make the day get better. Nothing lifts the spirit like a well-organized storage space.

Scratch that. Many things lift the spirit much higher. But few are within easy reach right now.

I am assuming it is the older cat that is doing the pooping. Two suggestions because cats don't normally like to behave that way.

One, there is something physically wrong that is making it hard for her to get where she needs to do her business.

Two, and of the two, I lean towards this one to start, cats are very territorial about their places so younger cat may be making it hard for older cat to use the box, if there is one, or get where older cat needs to get to do her business. If older cat is becoming bullied in the box, she'll stop using it. She is most likely low cat in the pecking order. One solution to the problem is to provider older cat her own place and defend it for her. She doesn't have the status in catdom to defend it herself.
