Hi guys I have a question recently I have noticed my yearling intact female AdoraBelle or Dora for short has been pottying in inappropriate places namely the floor or a cardboard box or today a chair anywhere that's not the litterbox she's got an appointment to be spayed next month as it's their first opening anyway I put her in the litterbox and she ran out just as fast as she could like she was scared now our home dose have 6 other cats which is why it took me a couple weeks to notice this issue as she's the quiet one most content to be doing her own thing usually hanging out in a high shelf or window area I rescued her last year when she was dumped on my door step and obviously knew nothing of the road or outside and was nearly run-over. my other yearling Butterscotch was a similar rescue only his mother was feral and he was a month before her anyway his personality is a total opposite he has to get on you or close to you to be content.
I noticed her behaviour a few days ago my grandfather for whom I was a live-in caregiver for passed in April leaving me the house and I started working outside the home in late June we ended up moving the favored potty box because we were given an upright freezer and that was the only place to put it because it's an old house and lacks plug-ins.
Anyway I put a new potty box in a separate room where she likes to hang out and noticed when I went to clean it this week their wasn't much to scoop.
Any ideas why she's suddenly scared of the litter boxes I've tried putting her in three separate ones and the other cats pretty much avoid her room no one's a bully about the litter boxes and we have plenty to go around as I said she likes to hang out in my room and put her a box in there which the other cats go to rarely they respect her boundaries and she gets along with all but the second eldest male and the eldest female who are a lot like her and prefer to do their own thing.
eldest female usually hangs out on the fridge to look out the kitchen window and second eldest male likes to be near the AC as he had long hair. The eldest male adores her as dose the youngest the second eldest female is usually hanging out in the spare bathroom which has a shelf built in next to the shower that's empty except for towels which she likes to sleep on, the second youngest female adores all the other cats and is two also a rescue.
anyway theirs been nothing as far as I can see that would cause her litter box fear can anyone give me advise? I'm nearly caught up on my bills and can take her in to the vet on the 5thwhen I'm paid again but anything you can tell me any tips would help.
In The pictures you will see her with our eldest male who thinks he's Dad to all those under 5 years of age he's 8. He adores Dora.
