QuoteOk I'll do that. If I catch her about to poop, it's right to pick her up and take her to the box, right?

YES! And even if it's old poop. Pick it up and put them both in the box.
Don't use scented litter. Some cats don't like it. Arm & Hammer is the best. Baking soda works.
Ok I'll do both those things and let you know.
I use arm & hammer. She wasn't burying so I figured she didn't like it. So I got kitten attract litter today and she is burying now so I thought that was good.
Wish us luck no poopies tonight.

QuoteQuoteQuoteQuoteQuoteIt sounds like she feels the need to be near you.
She's looking for comfort. Can you tolerate the litter box being in your room for a few days? Once she's comfortable and feels content, she'll go to where it's moved.
Having it with us is what started this. Yes though, she is on top of someone all the time when she's not playing. She's purring right now on top of me.
Does she share this litter box?? Seriously, when she poops on the floor.. toss it in the box and then her. Tough love. Worked for 2 of mine.
How do you pick up the litter? It's um... stuck to the floor....
She shares the room but is using her own box for now.
I meant pick up the poop and put it in the box, then toss her in there. After a few times, she'll get the message.
Use a paper towel or litter scooper.

Thank you to all that have helped so far. Here is where we are at. I still need help.
Kept bathroom door closed. Came home to find poop under my desk. Probably about 50 feet from litter room. Backed up my idea that she wasn't ok with the litter. I got Kitten Attractant litter. Came home and put her in it and she went poop right away.
Was sitting down later and happened to see her about to go again under my desk. Picked her up and put her in the litter room. She went in the box and did a teeny bit of business. I cleaned out the box just so I can keep track of her using it.
But I'm feeling discouraged. Now the spot under my desk (tile) is marked, right? I'll have to forever watch her there? Will she find more spots?
This is getting frustrating.

She's in there now. But having a fit. Meowing and scratching at the cat door.

Argh. Closed the bathroom door all day and she used a corner under my desk. Grrr
Bought kitten attract. Put her there and she pooped and buried. She had not buried the one time she did use it. So hopefully that is a good sign.
I will close her in there for a while. Thank you everyone!

QuoteI would keep her closed in the litter room for a few hours at a time so she gets used to the new place of her litter box. Just keep her food and water in there, and she will get used to the smells of the room and remember where to go.
I'd also keep the bathroom door closed so she cannot go in there and go to the bathroom. Otherwise she will always think that is what she is supposed to do.
I was wondering about closing her in the litter room for a while. Wasn't sure if she would view that as punishment and learn to hate the room or not.
And yeah, we have the bathroom door clased. Don't know how long we'll have to do that though.

What is litter attractent?

sprinkle it in the litter box and kitty thinks 'oooooh that smells JUST like the sort of place I want to leave a little brown baby"
Crap. That stuff says not to use with litters that have baking soda. I use arm & hammer clumping litter.

QuoteQuoteI only had it there for her at night. I did the same thing with the other 2 cats and never had a problem. I get that I'm having a problem with this one.
You're not expecting consistency amongst cats are you?
Of course not.

QuoteTime to keep the door closed for awhile.
I kept it closed yesterday during the day just cause we weren't home. I think I will do that too in the morning and not let her in there.
I hope that works. I'm tired of doing laundry at 6am.

QuoteQuoteYesterday she peed in the bathroom where her litterbox was for 2 nights. So today I got up and took her down and put her by the litter box where it is now. She peed in it. Came back upstairs and then pooped in the bothroom where the litter box was.
I'm wondering if maybe I don't allow her in that bathroom in the morning.
She has pooped in the box down there before. I think it's the timing of the morning because thoes 2 nights her litter box was there.
This may sound gross, but you should carry the poop down to the litter box, put it in there then toss the little one in. That will help associate poop and pee in the same place/box.

What about putting a bowl of water or maybe her food there in the morning to keep her from doing that?
She's only doing it in the morning again cause I think she thinks it should be there from those 2 whole nights it was.

Ok so we got a new kitten. She is 4 months. She had just had a urinary infection and had finished her antibiotics. Foster home said she was using litter box.
We have 2 other cats so we had the kitten in the bedroom with us the first night and some of the next morning before doing introductions. Had the kittens litter box in our bathroom.
You see where this is going? Did that for 2 nights. During the day I had moved her litter box to the litter room and showed her. Kept the door propped because I wasn't sure she would use the cat flap.
Ok so yesterday morning I'm in the shower and she is in the bathroom with me and she pees on my robe right where the litter box was.
Ugh.
So I scrub it and keep the bathroom door closed all day. Today I get up and I take her down to the litter room and she pees. Then she comes in the bathroom while I am in the shower and proceeds to POOP where the litter box was.
Help! How do I get her to stop? I'm guessing she associates night time / sleeping time with using the litter box there.
I'm thinking maybe tomorrow morning shut her out of the bedroom and leave the other cats in so she feels comfortable to go use the litter room?
She did use the litter room yesterday while we were gone at work. She can use the cat flap but I left it open cause one of the other cats is still hissing now and then at her and I didn't want her to feel cornered with just the cat door (which she is not a pro at yet) as her escape.
Help me!

QuoteMaybe some of the hits are the same people coming back to the thread to watch your progress. But if it helps, I voted for you--twice!

Rigger directory??
in Gear and Rigging
If you would like to give suggestions to get the word out more abotu Rigminder, we are willing to try it! We'd love to see more riggers on there!
And it's a good idea to be able to see what areas they serve rather than just the state, we'll work on that!
