Question

1. The cat did excrement, so it was hard to keep the cat.
2. The cat vomitted droppings, so it was hard to keep the cat.

-----------------------------------
Are they correct expressions? Would you correct the errors if any?

Answer 1

Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum again. Gramatically they may be ok BUT "did excrement" is most awkward. I'm afraid any cat is going to need a litter box!. The word "droppings" is a synonym for "excrement" and that is not vomitted.

Answer 2

1. The cat did excrement, so it was hard to keep the cat.
2. The cat vomitted droppings, so it was hard to keep the cat.

-----------------------------------
Thank you. Then which expressions should I use?

Answer 3

For sentence 2, you could just omit the word "droppings" and the sentence would be awkward but OK.

Better, smoother sentences would be these:

1. The cat defecated in the house, so it was hard to keep him.

2. The cat kept vomiting, so it was hard to keep him.

Answer 4

Most often used it the term "litter box", which is the term for where cats, who are house trained, use the bathroom.

So, I would say "The cat would not use the litter box, so it was hard to keep him. "
