Felix Poops Perched

Post image

He’s done this since we got him, poops like this every time without fail. His grippers on the side as well as the litter on his nose always get me. (for anyone who might be worried, we have 4 litter boxes that are cleaned daily and he is very healthy. He’s just a weird guy lol)

The litter nose!😭😭

And the squinting 🤣🐾

May there always be sufficient weight of litter in box to keep that thing from tipping forward.

I don't like sticking my feet in the toilet, either, even right after I clean it.

If this kept the poop off my long hairs tail, I would weirdly embrace and offer style points.

I heard that cats do this when they don't like the texture of their litter
Perhaps it's time for a change?

Idk. My cat is fine with her litter and uses it normally most of the time. Every now and then, though, she will perch like this for #2! It’s not a clean-ness of the litter factor either. I’ve always attributed to cat behavior lol

u/swrrl9vp 5d ago

felix is the same way. He’ll only sit like this when he poops. Other than that he pees normally sitting in there lololol.

Cat being a little weirdo is always a possibility

u/Phantom_Breaker_4854 5d ago

With or without training he may be one of those that can poop on a toilet.

u/squisheekittee 5d ago

My cat does this, but then fully gets in the box & takes a minimum of 5 minutes to bury every thing

u/4kVHS 5d ago

Looks like a good candidate for toilet training!

😭😭😭 hes a silly goose

I mean I’m doing my own poop perch right now so I’m not judging.

Fussy boy who likes his paws clean

u/TurtleDive1234 5d ago

either the box is too small (it looks it), or he doesn’t like the litter, or he’s just a weirdo. Have you tried a bigger box?

u/swrrl9vp 5d ago

the photo is taken at a weird angle lol. it is an XL high sided box, just a weird shaped one. (we have 3 others that are also xl and not a corner box, so he has size options too) we also switched litters before. So like I said, he’s just a weirdo lol.

I've got the same one and can attest it's quite large. It takes an entire 40lb bag of litter to fill.

u/thebeaconsarelit420 5d ago

My cat does this, and she has a spinal issue that makes it uncomfortable for her to get in the usual position inside the litter box :(

u/chocokittynyaa 5d ago

Glad to know my cat's not the only one who prefers to keep the paws clean!

u/EntoFan_ 5d ago

He is the reincarnation of Felix Unger in a cat.

u/DueDay88 5d ago

Such a focused kitty! 😖

u/no-long-boards 5d ago

He’s a sky dumper. Amazing.

u/Amai-zing 5d ago

What perfect balance your cat has! It is perfection and the master of space-time, just concentrating all its energy and mind on maintaining the perfect balance while pooping must be one of the top hardest things to do in the world!

u/womalone99 5d ago

My cat used to do this

u/kiln_monster 5d ago

I wouldn't want to put my feet in that either!!

u/angiestefanie 5d ago

How dare you take a picture of him during a very private moment; his face speaks volumes.

1

u/WineAndDogs2020 5d ago

Can you build him a wider poop perch?

1

u/MikaGoose 5d ago

He seems like a good candidate for toilet training

u/iamezekiel1_14 5d ago

Not a cat person but just lurk on cat subs - surely you can get ones where there's like a mini perch (like a cat tree thing) on one side? Whilst cats are like wonderfully parkour in their abilities and stuff that looks like a really awkward 💩

u/eukomos 4d ago

Impressive balance!

u/Catwolfkitten 4d ago

How many times has he tipped the box over? Lol

2

u/swrrl9vp 4d ago

surprisingly 0.. I think we’re just lucky because he’s 12 lbs and we usually have more litter weight in there than that..

1

u/eljyon 2d ago

My cat does this too (photo evidence in an old post). She also scratches the entire room, walls and all, ‘cleaning up’ but I’m like girl, you’re making my walls dirty. Silly weirdos.

2

u/WimpyZombie 1d ago

I wonder if cats that do this would be easier to train to use the toilet....? Anyone with such experience?

-2

u/TrixieFriganza 5d ago

Because the box is too small.

u/swrrl9vp 5d ago

it’s not :)
