Jo, She refuses to use a litter box. There is one just near the

Could the sides of the box be too high for her liking?


Start from the first: Place her in the litter box -- take a paw and show
her how to scratch - then press her down into a sitting position. It may
take a few tries (if she is a slow learner) but it just might convey the
thought that this is what you want her to do. I did this with my two
strays the first time -- they were fast learners. MLB
