My cat keeps pooing around the house

Question
Hello,

I have been having problems with my cat of late, I keep finding poo all around the house. I found three piles this morning!! They are solid, although I can't understand it as her tray is always kept clean and she does use that too. She is 16 years old, however this is very out of character for her.
Thank you

Answer
Your cat is 16 yrs old. That is the approximate age of 119 in human years. She is going to have some cognitive issues at this time of her life.

You will have to be more patient with her and just understand that things don't work as well for her.

You might want to have your vet look her over as well, as she could have some medical issues that are causing this.

If nothing shows up then you will know that she is very old and will have these problems from time to time.
