I am at home all day with Chloe so whenever she needs to go she
indicates
and I let her into the garden, leaving her out until she indicates
to come
in.
She has developed a habit of coming in then, when I am not around
going to her litter tray, doing nothing, but scrapping all the
litter out
onto the carpet. Sometimes I have to clear up after her 3/4 times a
day.
It is hurting me 'cos I have had a stroke, 2 heart attacks and a
hiatus
hernia. Clearing up is a painful effort and getting beyond me. She
is not a
kitten, almost 10 years old so why? No feline psychotherapists
please.
How deep should the litter be?
I don't want to discourage her from using the tray if
needful. There is no point in telling her off after the event; she
is a cat
after all and won't understand. Anyway she knows that she has done
wrong
because she goes to her bed upstairs and feigns sleep.
Help, please!!!

You can buy litter trays with higher sides. The one I have has a
clip- on extra bit. I would also take her to the vet ; a change in
behaviour warrants a check-up.
