Jeff, my mums cat use to do this.
The way we solved it was once it has a ****e on your carpet, pick it up with some tissue or something and put it outside (if its an outside door cat or in a litter tray)
take your cat outside to where you've just put the turd and hold your cat near it for a few minutes so it gets the smell and knows its his/hers and cats (supposedly) get embarrassed about it and try and cover it up. and then in theory they should continue to ****e outside.
mine has started to lick soap every morning....?
Get the old tray out and get him ****ting in it again, then move the tray outside.
Problem solved.
On a slightly related incident our old cat broke in (read as squeezed through an open roof window) at our old landlords house (two properties on the same plot of land).
She then took a massive dump on their king size bed, right in the middle of their expensive silk sheets.
Am I a bad man for moving the lump of **** but leaving the stain? :-D
sell it to the chinese takeaway..
That reminds me of a lad at work.
On a night out and rather pi55ed, he noticed a cat had been run over and killed.
He picked it up and walked into the nearest Chinese, through all the punters waiting for their food. Threw it on the counter and said
"That's the last one i'm bringing you" turned round and walked out!
errrr cat ****
