Hello I have a 18 month old female cat I also have a 11 month old male cat. I have muliple litter boxes and the cats both go outside but my female will on poo in the bath. I have tried alsorts to get her to stop doing it, change the type of litter, get another litter box, spraying cat tepellant in the bath, I have even tried not putting litter in a box to see if she prefers the smoothness. I do not know what else to do please can you advise me.

You are doing all the right things. I would try putting aluminum foil in the bath. Cats don't like stepping on something crinckly and generally avoid the area. You can also leave some water in the bottom of the bath that will also make it unpleasant for her, or keep her out of the room altogether. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Nala.
