We are baffled at how to handle this litter box issue.
She always poops in the litter box. She pees there maybe 50% of the time. We use World's Best litter with the Dr Elsey's Cat Attract additive.
Sometimes she pees on random spots on the carpet. Lately, though, she's begun peeing in the dog's water. She also drinks out of his bowl, as well as her own. It's a raised bowl, but she stands on the very edges.
Obviously we don't want to punish her for peeing, but we don't know how to handle this! It feels like we're rewarding her because, of course, we always change the water after she pees in it. And then she comes right back and drinks the new water. It's not like we don't change the water regularly, either.
Open to any suggestions for how to correct this behavior and/or make the dog's water inaccessible to the cat!
