  HELP Cotton has taken to pooping on me. HE digs on my shirt which is cute. Then he poops on me and digs etc. I keep throwing then in his litterbox next to the couch. HE even peed on me today. He is also marking by the bedroom door.
  
  could he really be that jealous of Lady Ruby? Why is he doing this. OH I think I held Ruby with this shirt on maybe that is why he peed?
  
  I change shirts around but he still puts a skunky smelling poop on me. I believe he is marking me.
  
  How do I get him to stop marking by the door? And on me. Short of not letting him on me. I enjoy when he comes to dig on my shirt and arrange it to his liking.
  
  Or do I just have to put up with it?

  I think a lot of male bunnies have this behavior. Mimzy is the same way, I watch him carefully when he’s out and about (on my bed usually) and when he starts digging I have that litter box right there for him to get put into so that I don’t have a mess on my bed. It works for him most of the time.
  
  It could be a territorial thing. But in my case, if it were, I think Fiver would be marking me or the bed also, as it’s where both he and Mimzy play (at separate times.)
  Mimzy also comes and digs on my leg if he wants his favorite treat, blueberries.
  Has Cotton Boo had any tummy troubles of late that could be causing him to be less proper with his bathroom habits?

  NO his tummy has been fine. He hasn’t been hunched or repositioning himself a lot. He seems normal. Hmmm a male thing. Gee Cotton Boo.
  
  I watch for him going to the door and make him move usually b4 he puts a pile of poop there. I put a litterbox there for him he goes in it then outside of it too. HE is a very jealous boy so maybe is marking for that reason.
  
  Gosh short of parting with Ruby guess I will just have to be more vigilant with him. I could not live without my Lady Ruby. Or my Cotton Boo.
