I'm so sorry for this situation Dianne - having a cat pooping all over your home is horrible. It sounds to me as if there's a lovely cat and a lovely home (and owner) but the two just don't match at the moment - it does happens sometimes and it's nobody's fault.

I guess the options are either to end the relationship and find an alternative home for Jasmine or try and find a way to create an environment where she and you can be happy. It does sound as if she's missing companionship during the day when you're out at work, especially if she was used to having other cats around her before. Is a second cat absolutely out of the question? I wonder if there's any way a behaviourist could sort of re-train her into coping when she's left alone. I don't know how they work but it may be possible. Anyone else know any more about strategies for coping with separation anxiety?
