AND NOW . . . amidst billowing clouds of fragrant, aromatic first- and second-hand premium cigar smoke. . . it is time for . . . that harmless, lovable little fuzz ball, the highly-trained broadcast specialist, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, from behind the golden EIB microphone, firmly ensconced in the prestigious Attila-the-Hun chair at the Limbaugh Institute of Advanced Conservative Studies, serving humanity simply by showing up, and he’s not retiring until every American agrees with him, do NOT doubt him, with shrieks of joy at the mere mention of his name (that’s Rush, for those in Rio Linda),the Mandarin of Talk Radio, with talent on loan from G-d, at the cutting-edge of societal evolution, with half his brain tied behind his back — just to make it fair, the all-knowing, all-caring, all-sensing, all-feeling, all-concerned Maha-Rushie! America’s anchorman, truth detector, and doctor of democracy. A Real Man, a living legend, a way of life. Commander in Chief of U.S. Operation Chaos. Chief Waga-Waga El Rushbo of the El Conservo Tribe. Chief of the Patriotism Police. Leader of the Conservative Movement. A Weapon of Mass Instruction. El Rushbo (a little Spanish lingo, there). He is the man who is running America (you know it and I know it). He knows the Democrats like every square inch of his glorious naked body. He is ready to do what he was born to do—that’s host. Get ready to what you were born to do—that’s listen (and post your comments on the Rush Limbaugh LIVE Radio Thread).
I don’t know either. I have had cats before. They either went out, used the litter box, or both
Put the cat in a crate and put a container of sand in the corner. Takes 2-4 weeks for the cat to figure it out before you can safely return it to tgevast wilderness of your home. additionally, once kitty seems trained leave it in a larger room with dors always closed. again another month.
Change the litter in both instances 4+ times a day to keep it fresh
:-) works for me!!

The only thing I would add is that different cats will have different preferences for the litter type. Try them all. And, you can add shredded newspaper to the list. We've had good success with newspaper with all our foster litters.
thanks for the advice. She will really hate me now
whatever you do ,don’t share your beer...next thing ya know they start stealin cigarettes to barter w/ the dog for shiney things....... you don’t want a dog fetchin shiney things
thanks for the help
Try a little vinegar in the box. Otherwise, find someone with a kitty and “borrow” some poop to prime the box.
Better she hate you now than be her employee for life.
LOL
Keep her in a seperate space the time being. :)=^..^=
Did respond to the post.
Thanks!
Bless it's heart, that really is strange. Ok, do a Google search for "Attract Cat" cat litter. It's a bit expensive, but I had great success with it when I was training my cat to use a new litter box.
Oh, and if someone hasn't already suggested this, take him to the vet and just check to make sure he's ok physically. Sounds more like a psychological problem, but you never know. Please keep us posted.
If kitten is going in one spot, ban her from that spot and scrub it with bleach for a few months. Keep the door shut. If its in many spots, she could have a slight urinary infection. Cats associate the litter box with the pain of peeing...so she wont’ use it to pee. She will get over hating you once the meds are done....
I have a kitten about 7 months that suddenly decided that the cat bed on the windowsill was a good pee spot. I just moved it and put it away (after washing with bleach) and my problem stopped...knock on wood.
It's also important to note that you cannot be moving the litterbox around. I did that and learned a hard lesson. You hve to put the litter box in one (or two) permanent spots. IF you move the box, the cat will smell the old spot and continue using it. So, if you are going to retrain the cat, put the cage NEAR THE PERMANENT SPOT where they litter box will be. If it's in the closet, put the cage right by the closet. I retrained a 12 year old cat this way. He spent 6 months in the cage and I would let him out only when i was there to watch him. It worked.... he lived till he was 19 1/2 although the last 2 years of his life he was blind....
