Update on my so called TNR case

MOD NOTE: This is ongoing from Something wrong with TNR case but it no longer belongs in that forum.


************************************************************************************

Here’s an update on the cat who I tnr a few months ago. She’s now living in my house full time. I slowly integrated her into my household. My father loves her and is starting to dote on her and my mom is not getting angry at her again (she is the one who oppose her the most.

She still sleeps in my kitchen area but during day time when I’m around she’ll go into the main house. My mom is okay with this since my dad and I love her (sometimes my dad will sneak her in by himself). All is good as long she doesn’t go up the furniture which she thankfully doesn’t. + idk where she potty (I’ve prepared a litter box for her but she never use it and I never spot her poop/pee). We call her Kitten.

She looks so sweet. If she is strictly indoor and there is no pee or poop in the litter box you best start looking to find out where she is going before the odor gets really bad . If she has found some spot in the house that she is using for her litter box you will have to break her of that habit and once they have started using a spot other than their litter it can be challenging to get them to go elsewhere.

Why on earth would anyone "get angry" at her???
There is a litter called CatAttract that will likely help to attract her to use her litterbox. Cat behaviorist extraordinaire, "Cat Daddy" Jackson Galaxy, has lots of videos on YouTube, several books, and a hit Animal Planet TV series, "My Cat From Hell" (it's not the cats who are from hell, it's the people!) with lots of expert pointers on the matter. Please learn about how to satisfy your cat's basic instincts. Cats are the cleanest animals on earth (much cleaner than humans, who are primates) and their natural instinct is to use sandy substrate and cover their waste.

You might get a cardboard scratcher for her, if this is what mom is concerned about. As soon as I got one (and they are really cheap) my cat never scratched the furniture.

Hi, just to clarify my mom generally doesn’t like cats. She previously didn’t allow me to keep Kitten or any other cats. So she gets angry if Kitten goes into the ‘human space’ (my agreement with her was for Kitten to only stay in the kitchen and garage).

But I think she changed her mind now. She’s kind of okay with Kitten being in the living room. + Kitten is a very nice cat she only scratch our carpet but since my carpet is like those tufting carpet it doesn’t sustain any damage. I’ve literally looked everywhere for her poop but can’t find any. My theory is that she does it in my garden and cover it really well.

Please try to wath her and find out where she is going for sure. Your mom would explode if it was in the house!

I'm glad your mom has warmed up to Kitten. Kitten has you to thank for that and hopefully your mom will become a cat convert. I agree with others that it would be beneficial to try and find where she is urinating and defecating. If you think she potties in the garden I would check that area. If there is inclement weather and she's inside the house she may not want to go out to the garden.
