My dog is now shitting in the catbox.
It is disgusting, because she does not bury it.:eyes:

The cats are not amused. Why is she doing this? She started this a couple of weeks ago, when we adopted a boy cat. She never did this before, when we just had our girl cat. Suddenly Sonny Boy enters the scene, and Peanut decides that the catbox is, literally, the shit. :shrug:

1. How big is this dog? Do you have a covered kitty box that can keep doggy out?

2. Could be some way the dog is "getting back" at the cat...
has the dog pissed anywhere around the litterbox? If so, he's probably marking the litterbox as his, to piss off the cats.

19. Ours craps in the kids' room..
if they leave their door open. She will not mess on the floor if they keep the door closed but one of them almost ALWAYS leaves their bedroom open. They get home from school and go to put their backpacks away and you hear one of them grumbling "I HATE that dog!" She NEVER does it in my bedroom...even if I leave the door open.

20. We had a boxer who used to crap on my now ex husband's
pillow, He'd also chew his toothbrush. Never bothered my stuff. My ex abused that dog.

I'm just saying, there might be an issue you're not aware of.

23. they don't play with her much during the week.
I think it's her way of letting them know she's mad.

24. If there's carpet, there might be some smells left from a previous
owner that only the pooch can detect. :shrug:

11. Ha! She is *so* not intelligent.
She's a dear little thing, but dumb as dirt! :D

Attitude, on the other hand, is something she has in abundance. A chihuahua - go figure. :eyes:

10. "She started this a couple of weeks ago, when we adopted a boy cat."
Two-word translation: "Enough cats."

It's warmer and more discreet than going outside? :shrug:

21. Damn, I tried to litter train my dogs and they wouldn't do it
They hated the feel on their feet and wouldn't go in the box.
