"Luvskats00" wrote in message ... Cathy Friedmann" writes wrote Can I teach her to use the litterbox exclusively? Has she been checked for a UTI ....You can put 2 littler boxes next to eachother, one for peeing, one for pooping. Or both for both in case she just simply prefers two. ....Putting out 3 boxes in a a row solved that problem here, so it's at least worth a try. That's good (below), but I meant two "litter" boxes - not littler ones; typo. The boxes can be good-sized, of course. the new litter; if she's now using the second box w/ the present litter, I'd personally stick w/ that, at least for the time being; not rocking the boat. Cathy -- "Staccato signals of constant information..." ("The Boy in the Bubble") Paul Simon Well, currently I have the original litterbox (with newspaper) used by my resident cat and the smaller litterbox (w/litter) next to one another. I was overjoyed when I went into the bedroom and discovered she pooped in the smaller box. I praised her for 10 minutes (though I'm not sure she had a clue why I was doing that)...I received several suggestions/links to Dr. Elsey's Precious Cat Attract, cat litter. It's guaranteed to have all cats not using the box - use the box. I ordered a 20 lb. bag. I'm hoping that she follows up her poop with some pee in the box. I will be watching so I'll clean it immediately and, hopefully, encourage her to use it routinely. |

if she's now using the second box w/ the present litter,
I'd personally stick w/ that, at least for the time being..... I'm so happy and hope tomorrow is the same as today (with her using the box, that is.) I'm not changing a thing. |

"A few google searches confirmed it. This one is classic. Probably
the one that started you morphing your name..." The message was a response to someone (one of hundreds) who had posted about the death of their cat who was allowed to roam outside. Huh? No, it wasn't. The message was a response to a post about someone's cat who had stayed out all night--not a cat that was killed. The cat lives in the UK--where most cats are allowed outdoors. It was posted in a very amiable and friendly newsgroup, where you saw fit to butt in and slam the poster when you had no idea what you were talking about. You never post there, you don't know the people there, and wham bang....you blow in just to flame some very nice people. It was indescribably rude. How difficult is it (for a present/future cat owner/guardian) to determine the danger level of the environment outside the home? Not as difficult as it must have been for you, when you determined from thousands of miles away that this person's environment was unsafe. I appreciate the fact that you are an indoor proponent. I don't disagree with that point; *some* areas are unsafe for cats. Sherry |
