Several things to try.<br /><br />Since one of the cat's most important senses is that of smell, there is a good possibility that it might be the <i>smell</i> of the litter box that the cat associates with pain. I am frequently <i>appalled</i> at how badly supposed cat lovers are at keeping their litter boxes clean. A cat's nose is at <i>least</i> a hundred times more sensitive than ours. Imagine how you would feel if your nose was a hundred times more sensitive than it is now, and you had to crap in a dirty litter box. <b><i>The litter box should be cleaned DAILY</i>.</b> Get in the habit - do it every morning on your way out the door to work, or every night on your way to bed, but <i>do it daily</i>. This might help.<br /><br />If this does not help, try changing cat litter brands. Cat litter brands all smell different to a cat, and the new smell may change the smell/pain association.<br /><br />If all else fails, buy a new litter box that <i>does not look like the old litter box</i>.<br /><br />Lastly, there is the ownership problem. Cats are fiercely territorial. The cat having it's own litter box may help also.<br /><br /><b>BoxStockRacer</b>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-66930849841726341902011-11-06T23:41:52.479-05:002011-11-06T23:41:52.479-05:00This last summer, my nine-year old Russian Blue wa...This last summer, my nine-year old Russian Blue was introduced to Miss Tacticute's promised black kitten. This was not taken well.<br /><br />Said black kitten, named Lily, was introduced to the Litter Robot. All completely above board and normal, except that the Litter Robot smelled of Different Cat.<br /><br />So we ended up with kitten crap in the upstairs hallway-end, around the door of the master bedroom, and along the wall downstairs in the living room.<br /><br />We tried to train Lily by restricting her access to the standard Cat Crapping Location, but this causes a problem, because this put the aforementioned kitten between the regular house area and the Cat Crapping Area. So the nine-year old Russian Blue named Nessa began crapping in the dining room area, as she would not move past the terrifying kitten to her normal Crapping Location.<br /><br />Thus began a summer long project of purchasing large kennels to contain each cat, right next to each other, then joining the kennels together so the cats were sharing spaces and had food water and litter in common, then melding the kennel to the usual Cat Crapping Location entrance with food and water co-located with Cat Crapping, then finally removing the kennel and allowing them free access to the house with food and water and litter still co-located, then finally moving the food and water back to the normal place with the cats sharing the common Cat Crapping Location.<br /><br />Four months to finally get the Cats to Crap in the same Location.<br /><br />It Can Be Done.Tirnohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12545609711956034630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-68718378033349487242011-11-06T22:49:24.583-05:002011-11-06T22:49:24.583-05:00So I just got the baby to go to sleep, and now I&#...So I just got the baby to go to sleep, and now I'm sitting here with my hand over my mouth trying to stifle the laughter so I don't wake him up again..<br /><br />By god, my WV is "untam".Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02996122023499439670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-40038620264873163572011-11-06T18:54:58.604-05:002011-11-06T18:54:58.604-05:00Obviously Huck has read Pavlov, and in a nifty tur...Obviously Huck has read Pavlov, and in a nifty turn-about, has YOU trained!<br /><br />With the recent passing of my Aussie, Torry, who would charge the TV whenever any kind of critter came on, my ex-ranch tomcat today decided he needed to at least check out the dinosaurs on some show I had on TV.

So now he associates pooping in the litter box with pain, so he poops in the sink instead.<br /><br />Needless to say, I'm envious of "cats who do tricks" and would love to just get all three cats to use the litter box again. <br /><br />We love them, but refer to them as our "little furry retared children," especially recently with all the poop problems.<br /><br />RobRob Reednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-72592417209155302312011-11-06T15:37:05.189-05:002011-11-06T15:37:05.189-05:00"Whoos a kwoot lil lemon squeezer!
