My cat won't use her litter box and poops in the house. What to do?

Question

Alice won’t use the litter box. She knows how to bury her poop outdoors but indoors, she will poop in the hallway or inside the cat tunnel. What should I do? She seems shy or uncomfortable with the litter somehow. She even eats it sometimes but I scold her and now she avoids it when I’m around.

Hi, most issues with the litter tray are related to having a litter that it is too small or not cleaned as frequently enough. Apart from getting a bigger tray you could try adding some leaves and dirt to make it look more natural, also make sure that it is a place where she feels safe when going and can’t be disturbed when “performing” :-) hope this helps !
