greenlee, do you have any other cats in the house? its very possible they wont let her use the litter. cats can gaurd the litter and harass a young or newer cat to the point they wont use the litter all the time, they will go whereever because they are afraid to use the box because of another cat, or even, dogs might harass a cat in the litter box. You wont nesscarly see the other cats bugging her. it can be just as suttle as a look, or even...

the bump has been the same size...never gotn bigger or smaller. i brought home the new kitten and set it down and brought lil one to it...she hissed and ran away...i never made them be by eachother...the kitten hided under my moms bed for almost a week and we put catbox/food/water in there for it so it wasnt a just BAM theres another cat. they were isolated from eachother but with knowing eachother was there

Greenlee, I think you mentioned this problem before, so I have to ask: has she been to the vet? Has the vet ruled out incontrovertibly that she doesn't have crystals or a UTI? Because if she hasn't been checked for that, and she does have a urinary infection, you can use all the carpet cleaners in the world, and spray all the feliway in the world, and she will not stop peeing outside the box (unless she gets so ill that she stops...

I used to have a bunny and the bunny was actually the one pouncing on the cats and chasing them.. it was quite funny. In my experience bunnies and cats get along great. I would slowly introduce them when the bunny is young before he/she gets the idea that it may be the dominant one. Let the kitties look at the bunny through the cage before letting them run around together. I would just supervise when they are together for a while until they...

I just ordered my Litter Kwitter and am planning on training Sylar and Eleanor to use the toilet! Hopefully we have success, my wallet needs it! I'm allergic to clay litter so have to buy pricey wheat litter I've been wanting to do this for awhile now and after reading a blog about potty training cats, knew I had to give it a shot!

Exactly. As long as they're both happy--which they clearly are!

I'mn really interested to hear how it goes.

I used to do this...I was named appropriately, now mommy has a chair that I hang out on when she's in the kitchen, she started giving me kitty treats on it when I was screaming at her to feed me what she was cooking, that has helped a lot as well as feeding me when it's their dinner time. I am only fed twice a day (well just started yesterday) as my sister and I were becoming too fat, so had to go on a kitty diet, but mom before that...

Only a half dozen toys right now, but that's okay because she'll play with anything that's not nailed down. So in reality, I guess, the whole house is full of her toys!

Neutering does wonders for this behavior. I have wrangled a few ferals in my day using work gloves and it worked but you have to be lightening fast and have everything prepared. I would wrap him in a towel if it comes to that. Rescue Remedy could get him to chill out some and maybe even enough to get him into a carrier. He does deserve a chance and bless you for caring but do be careful.
