First time poster here.
I’ve had my sweet boy for 12 years. Having no children up until recently, I’ve always thought of him as precious to me as a human child would be. I’d sing to him, dance with him, and in general, loved him to pieces. I’ve been so lucky to have him.
Fast forward to today. I have a 3 month old baby girl. As I’m sure all parents experience, she has completely changed my world in the best way possible, and I love her more than anyone or anything, more than my cat . I could go on and on about how much we love her, but she’s not the subject of this post.
My sweet boy has recently started pooping all over the house...always soft surfaces like beds, furniture and rugs. He has done this before when he’s been stressed, such as when we got a second cat and when we moved across the country. Ive always just cleaned it up. I never have punished him in any way, not even got angry at him. I’ve taken him to the vet and there’s nothing physiological causing this behavior. I think he just feels neglected with the new baby getting a lot of attention.
I’ve tried a lot of stuff like CBD oil, comfort zone plug ins, extra love and attention, citrus sprays to deter him (cats don’t like citrus), etc. Nothing is helping
My baby girl isn’t mobile yet of course, but she will be soon, and I’m terrified she will get into cat feces. We clean it up as soon as we see it of course, but what if she gets there before we do?
I don’t know what to do! I don’t want to give up on him but I also need to keep my daughter safe.
