Going to move the litter box.
You should have two boxes for one cat. Show her (repeatedly) where you are
moving the new box.

Feeling very sad
The cats became ill very suddenly and died 24 hours later, is what they
said. I think it was a very virulent strain.

Feeling very sad
A cat rescue near me had an outbreak of feline calicivirus. They lost 82
cats. The disease did not discriminate between adults or kittens. Has anyone
experienced this? Thanks in advance.

It takes much time and patience. Remeber to speak softly to him and to sit
(quietly) in the room when you feed him. Also, try interactive toys with him

More questions regarding stray cat
She acts that way with your husband because he fed her when she was outside
so she "knows" him. She will love you in time, also.

Do not give him milk. THis may cause diarrhea. You should bring a stool
sample to the vet to check for parasites. Young kittens often have worms.

kidney disease crf and overweight cat question
If he will not eat the renal food, ask the vet which of the regular foods
would be best for a cat with renal failure. I know dry food is not good
either for obesity or renal failure.
