My cat, Kaity, is 16 years old. She's always been a very healthy cat. Never been to the vet other than for vaccinations. She's never been sick, and I mean never. lol Lately, she's been driving me nuts. She REFUSES to use the litter box. She's always had a thing for not wanting to poop in her box, but lately she's been peeing as well as pooping all over my bed. She is an only cat and she's always been an indoor cat. There are no new pets and no new people around. I tried putting her on different cat food a friend recommended. Said it helped her cat's attitude. That didn't work. She gets tons of attention (as she won't have it any other way lol), she sleeps with me (I have to share a pillow with her
), clean box or not, she doesn't care... I just don't know what else to do. I've tried disciplining her by putting her in her box when I see she's about to do something bad, or locking her up in the bathroom with her box and food and water while I was at work (Of course, I let her out when I'm home and can keep an eye on her). And she KNOWS it's bad. When I come home and she's done something bad, she runs and hides from me. Other times, when she's been good, she'll greet me at the door.
So at this point, I'm begging for any other suggestions. Is she just getting old and losing her mind or is there something else I should be doing or am I doing something wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
