Ever since her last vet visit, Sassy has been given her own room to reduce stress from Pretty Kitty and Shadow being mean toward her. We've put in a litter box, which she uses most of the time (and I'll address the 'most of the time' part in a bit), her food and water dishes, toys I've bought her, and even a night light and a radio, which she and I both enjoy singing with! I do take her downstairs for a few minutes every night and during the day, so she doesn't feel trapped, but after I put her back in her room and say goodnight is when the problems start. I keep the door closed at night so Shadow and Pretty don't get in and disturb Sassy. They've both come in the room before, but I've been there to supervise them. I also try and come in and keep Sassy company for a while, but she still cries at night. I bought some little catnip-like chews online to deal with one of our un-fixed cats, but he hasn't eaten them yet, but I've given a few to Sassy, but I'm not sure if they work. I also bought this Feliway spray to keep her calm, but I'm open to more suggestions. Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep Sassy calm at night?
Now onto the litter box. Sassy uses it for 'number 1', but I've often had to clean up 'number 2' since it's on the blanket we put on the bed to try and keep the litter off the bed, since that's where we put the litterbox. My dad put a blue tarp-like cover on the bed and we put the litterbox on top of it, similar to puppy-training pads. A few times, I've seen 'number 2' in the litterbox (good Sassy!), but sometimes she goes outside the box. I also got an unpleasant surprise when I spent the night in Sassy's room with her recently and learned that she pooped on one of the pillows on the bed. Luckily, I wasn't laying on that pillow, but I was close to it (I immediately took a shower just in case! Good news; no poop in my hair!). I bought something called 'Litter Magnet' to help her use the litterbox for pooping, and I thought it works, even though it's my first time using that. Does anyone have any thoughts about this?
