- Just moved with 8 years old, outdoor cat.
- She came and went as she pleased and lived her whole life so far at this house/neighborhood.
- Now has to be indoors, doesn't really know how to use the litter box. Stayed three nights at the vets office and they said she used the litter box fine. (I have to see it to believe it)
- I currently have her in the bathroom with litter box, food and water, and a bed with Feliway sprayed on it.
- I know she is so stressed by way of her meows and her body language.
PLEASE!
Any tips, advice, experience, or words of comfort would be so helpful!
Questions:
Can an older cat learn to use a litter box? How can I help her learn this?
Will she eventually get used to being inside?
Is keeping her in a more confined space with a litter box actually helpful at first? Or just stressful?
Once it is time for her to go outside again, what are the chances she'll try to run away back to her old home?
Anything I can do to keep her calm and distressed?
THANK YOU!
