Cat sh*tting on floor
Discussion
We've had Barry 18 months, from a kitten. For the first 12 months we lived in a London flat so he was a house cat, happily doing his business in his litter tray with no accidents.
We moved house 6 months ago and for the last few months he has been roaming outside a little, but TBH isn't that interested and only goes out for an hour or so at a time. He still has a litter tray and prefers to do his biz in that rather than go outside. Fine by us. There have been one or two errant poos, completely our fault when we have failed to keep his litter tray as clean as his royal highness would like.
We went away last week and the cat sitter failed to keep his litter tray clean. When we got back I found two sh*ts in the tray and, very annoyingly, two sh*ts on the carpet that the sitter had not seen and / or failed to clean up. Grim.
Now we are back, the tray is obviously kept clean, but darling Bazza is continuing to drop a deuce on our very expensive lounge carpet, in the exact same spot.
FWIW - he's still weeing in the tray.
Ideas how I can fix this problem please???!

You need to clean the area thoroughly and to a cats nose, not yours.
Using diluted washing powder as the cleaning agent is supposed to work.
As an aside, I know he's an outside cat, but as he likes to come in to do his 'business' you may benefit from adding a second litter tray for him going forward, general room of thumb is one per cat & a spare.

Biological washing powder/liquid as the enzymes breakdown all the "smell"Using diluted washing powder as the cleaning agent is supposed to work.
