Last fall I took in a starving young cat (1 to 1 1/2 years old) from a hoarder home. Th home had about 30 cats, kittens Chihuahua and puppies. (There was even a large rooster sitting on the countertop) Needless to say she didn't have a clue what a litter box was for.
With a lot of work I got her to use the box regularly. About this time I memembered how much I hate cleaning the box so I got a self cleaning one. I set her in it without it being plugged in but she freaked out and bolted out of it. About this time she figured out the dog door and has been going outside to potty. Tho I have found some poop near her box when the weather is nasty and rainy. I replaced the new box with her old one but she won't use it.
The second major problem.....I'm disable and on oxygen 24/7. She has been biting so many holes in my oxygen tubing that even using duct tape over it can't seal it all and have to be replaced every two-three days. I have tried using bitter apple but it doesn't seem to bother her.
I love the little stinker and don't want to give her up but I can't live without my oxygen! Please if anyone has any ideas let me know!
