Health & WellbeingI adopted a cat one week ago, and she refuses to urinate in the litter box unless she is locked in the bathroom with it. She poops in her box with no problem, but seems to be making a border around my (carpeted) bedroom, even though I spray it with N
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! I'm sorry to hear your new cat has been having litterbox issues. To start, I would recommend offering at least one other box of a different kind (covered vs not, for example). I would also add cat attract litter to the boxes, and consider putting a pheromone collar on her. If these suggestions are insufficient to help with her issue, I would recommend having her evaluated by a veterinarian to assure that there is no underlying medical issue contributing to her urination problems and then moving on with a plan from there. Good luck!
