Try keeping her in a bathroom for a few days, with litterbox and food/water.
It's much easier to clean a bathroom floor than it is a mattress. Keep the litter clean, and maybe even try 2 litterboxes (Weeble likes to poo in one, pee in the other) -- The ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy former-blonde in Bloomington! (And proud of it, too)© http://www.geocities.com/the_magic_mood_jeep/ http://community.webshots.com/user/mgcmdjeep "Luvskats00" wrote in message ... My suggestions for your new kitty is to keep her isolated in a separate room for a while....A 'cage is really no help for a cat, they just want out! Unfortunately, Nellie newbie - the 5 year old adult female - doesn't appear to use a litterbox. I have her isolated in my bedroom. She peed on my bed for 2 nights (using the litterbox for peeing the first night only. After that, she hasn't used it.) She deficated on my quilt on the 3rd night. I realize that she has a high level of stress: being taken from her home, put into a shelter for a month, coming to a new home w/a cat, having that cat jump on her several times..being shuttled to the vet for 3 days for exam & dental cleaning (she wasn't keeping food down..she's received a clean bill of health, though). I spend time with her in the bedroom (even though my other cat is crying on the other side of the door). What can I do to teach her to use the box? |

Try keeping her in a bathroom for a few days, with litterbox and
food/water.... Well, it was an improvement last night. She threw up on the bed - but I had a hefty garbage bag (covering the pee area of the 2 nights) and she didn't get any on the mattress. She peed in the litterbox (but since it was, then, dirty, she deficated outside the box. Hopefully, tonight it'll be all in the box...I'll watch more carefully. |
