Could be due to fungal infection. Can share some photos? My Bengals got ringworm infection on her chest and then spread to the different spot on her chest. I treated her with ACV at home and after few applications can clearly see the result. A few weeks later her fur grows back.

What is ACV?

Apple cider vinegar

Yup, apple cider vinegar can really do wonders. I even put a small amount in her raw food and rinse her with diluted ACV after the bath, which can also help to repel fleas and ticks.

my cats don't even have their carriers out unless I'm taking them to the vet. They have full reign of the house and can go wherever they please.

Maybe u can install the mosquito net.

May i know what action is this we call? Not mumbling right?
If can act like that is angry? My cat saw the bird then do like this.

Some say is due to stress, can see, want to catch, but cannot catch

I think it's called chattering

can provide tips regarding how you teach your cats to use toilet bowl?

P.S : one of my cat took one month to get use of the covered litter box..hahaha

i myself dont mind they sleep with me...sometime i accidentally kick their belly when their sleep near my feet

I'm using CitiKitty Cat Toilet Training kit, you can find in most of the pet store. I use the same litter and scope a small amount from her old litter box to bring her familiar scent to her new toilet. I started with putting her on the seat everyday as frequent as I can and give her treats on the toilet seat. When she started to explore and get familiar her new toilet, I cover up her old litter box. She immediately went for the new toilet to pee. But she was holding and doesn't want to poop on the new toilet. So every night I have to open her old box for her and see if she wants to go. But since she is on raw food diet, she don't really poop everyday. After two weeks or so, she started to poop on the new toilet seat, then i never open back her old litter box since.

She is now on the 2nd hole on the CitiKitty and seem to be having trouble to balance herself but I think that is normal and just part of the learning process. Before you start, I have to warn you that there are lots of cleaning need to be done throughout the training as she kicked the litter all over the floor before she goes, you need to scope the used litter every time after she goes and it can be really gross if your cat got diarrhea during the training.

Btw, how many cats and litter box do you have in total? I only have one cat but I think you need to have at least the equal amount of litter box against the number of cats you have. Maybe that's why it took longer for her to use the litter box?

P.S. conventional covered litter box is bad for your cats esp. if you are using clay type or any litter that produce lots of dust as the dust trapped inside will go into their lungs when they inhale and will cause respiratory problem in long term. I used CatIt SmartSift litter box once, but my cats started to sneeze after using the covered litter box so I did some research and seems like the dust is the root cause.

General rule is number of cats + 1 litterboxes in the house. So if you one cat, you should have two boxes.

I also don't recommend toilet training your cat, mainly because if you wanted to board your cat at a kennel, they use litterboxes. You don't want you confuse your already stressed out cat.

How much is the training kit? Approximately
Might want to train them during CNY holiday

I have 5 adult cats and 1 kitten (knows how to use litter already)
Plus i use crystal type litter(due to less mess and can easily swept away the residue)

I feed them with 90% kibbles 8% wet food and 2%cooked chicken/fish

Wow training 5 cats can be really challenging and time-consuming because their learning curves may be different, be prepared I think the price range is about RM25 - RM35. You also need to change to flushable litter to use the training kit, else the litter may clog your piping. I'm using Cat's Best Öko Plus litter.

Lately i have no time playing with my cat. Normally i would spend at least 30 minutes with him.

As a result, he has twice poop outside his litter box (on different day). My guess is lack of attention to him but just want to get opinion from others.

Cats are not vindictive. He is not pooping outside of his litterbox because you didn't spend time with him. He is trying to send you a message.

There may be something he doesn't like about his box. How often do you clean it? How many do you have? You should have two for one cat.

How recently did this happen? You should talk to your vet about it. Could be a medical problem.

about pooping..i have a cat and he rarely cover his poop properly in his litterbox..is there any reason why cat dont cover thier poop properly after finished?.already try with small and generously amount of cat litter for him..same result..

The alpha cat usually does not bury their poop... though one of my cats doesn't bury her poop because she's just dumb.

alpha cat?.he's only 9month without any interaction with female cat..

doesn't matter the gender. Is your cat neutered? I suggest you get that done.
