So... Casey's got 2 five-day-old kittens. We moved her into a room where the other cats can't go with a brand new litter box. She had it for a few days before the babies were born, but she wouldn't use it, she kept going to the litter box she used before. She hasn't been using litter boxes very long, because she was a feral cat until we took her in, but she will use them.
Now she's closed in with her own, in own room. First, she scratched out nearly all the litter onto the floor (but still wouldn't use it) and peed on the floor. I should mention that she had a cat bed and a box to choose from for kitten delivery, but she chose the litter box and just peed on the floor.
I got a new covered litter box so she wouldn't make such a mess and she moved the kittens into it! ....and peed on the floor.
I bought a crate, thinking it was the darkness she liked and she moved them back to the litter box! I gave up, cleaned out the litter box, (let her move in with kittens) put regular litter in an open box and she's purring VERY LOUDLY!! Its cramped in there, though, and I'm afraid she's going to lay on one of her kittens. WHAT IS UP WITH HER? ....Oh.... and I should mention, she's STILL peeing on the floor. HELP!!!

I'll try changing the litter.
