10. I have a cat who will poop every day on the bathroom floor.

he has 3 litter boxes close by, where, thank goodness, he pees and at times does poop there. Cat urine is so much harder to clean!
I complain to him everyday but he could care less. So, at least I get surprised when, at times, he doesn't poop outside the box.
He is also so mean he can't be with my other cats and the one kitty who he kind of gets along with, he will at times be really vicious with her but will eventually back down from shredding her. He hates the other cats. He loves dogs.
Anyway, in your situation, imo, I would just let him live it out until obviously uncomfortable, in great pain, and/or unresponsive to outside interests. Just my personal road I would take with an old kitty friend.
