We have an elderly cat (19 years old) and he has become a very messy eater. We feed him canned food because he seems to have problems with dry food. He takes mouthfuls of the canned food from his dish and puts it on the floor to eat it. Problem is he does this many times during a meal and puts in many places, which causes him him to step in it and track it around. We have put paper under the area but he takes it beyond the paper.This is really a problem because it looks messy, he tracks it on the carpeting and the area has to be washed many times a day. Has anyone else ever had this problem with their cat. Our other female cat Daisy died one year ago at age 18 and never did this.
