Yeah, I was pretty happy.
I let her watch me cover it, and I gave her some serious kudos.
She's gonna be a good cat, I can tell.

It's been very cute to "watch" the story unfold.

The cat finally peed in the litter box for the first time, but didn't
bury it. Is that strange? It's just sitting on top in a puddle.

Kind of hard for the litter to clump that way. :-)

Hope you gave your friend lots of good praise; he done good and so did you.
Some kitties cover and some don't; individual differences!

Unfortunately, my wife bought "Fresh scent" litter.
I didn't notice any scent before, but it seems like after the cat peed
in it, it activated a pretty strong, perfumey smell.

I'll replace it with unscented tomorrow and see if that helps.

Geez, I seriously don't think I talked about "poop" and "pee" this
much when we had our first child!

LOL! Uh, we did with our kids, particularly around potty-training time.
Believe me, cats are much easier than kids in this!

I use a litter called Swheat Scoop made from wheat, all natural and no
smell.
Most pet supply stores carry it.

I'll look for it, but I live in a town of 15,000...so it's pretty much
WalMart (soon to be MicroSoftWalMart).

The World's Best Cat Litter is also non-scented; it's made from corn, is a
clumping litter, & is truly flushable. However, I don't know if Wal-Mart
carries it or not.

WalMarts here in Albuquerque don't carry it; Petsmart does, Petco does but
is more expensive there; some Health Food stores that have pet food sections
carry it. I think it's great stuff but only some of my 5 cats like it as
much as I do.

See! You did the right thing and all of your worries are for naught!
And your good girl is safe and snug inside. Wonderful.
