Help Needed!
I really have a problem with an outside cat that I have been taking care of for over a year. I actually trapped one of her kittens, during our sub zero weather here in Chicago in December and he (Suki) turned out to be a little sweetheart and was neutered last Tuesday. He was born last July, 2016.
Well, I should have trapped mama cat (Cocoa Puff) sooner and had her spayed, because she is once again pregnant. I trapped her last week, because she was now living in our tarp covered swing outside. Have no idea when she's due, but her sides are bulging. She is safe now and living in our upstairs bathroom, away from any noise and upsets. I've prepared a queening box for her, but sometimes she uses it for pooping instead of her litter box; which she does use most of the time and which I clean multi times a day (except for this once a day problem). So I know it's not because of a dirty litter box. I have the Feliway diffuser going, but it doesn't seem to be doing any good. She's eating and drinking well, but I don't know how I can get her to stop using the queening box to relieve herself once a day, which I then have to clean. I've tried looking on line for suggestions, but have not found any posts for this problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Help please from anyone who knows about this problem or has had experience with this issue.
Thank you.
Regards,
