I suspect Coco has found a nice spot outdoors to defecate. If given a choice on where to go, cats will usually poop outside instead of in the litter box. However, if you have any concerns, especially if her appetite is decreased or she is having any vomiting or lethargy then I would encourage you to consider taking her to the veterinarian. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.

She likely is pooping outside. If she were constipated she would let you know with extreme lethargy, vocalization, not eating and vomiting. However it sounds like she is doing well otherwise so she is likely just fine. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and best wishes with your pet Coco. Take care.
