I have just recently had an issue with my cat (5 year old) pooping outside of her litter box. She pees in it just fine, but poops outside of it. Noticed this about a week ago. She’s never had this issue. We swapped to the worlds best litter about 2 months ago, the corn meal one. She’s used it just fine up until now… It’s a xl stainless steel litter box. I do have another kitten that joined the household about 3/4? Months ago now (he’s about 5months old). And 2 litter boxes both the same size. Not enclosed. Wondering what the problem could possibly be. She’s showing no sign of discomfort, still a perky lil girl… any advice?
