EVERYTHING CATS!!

Poor @Adge, thanks for the laugh ☺

Can you try puppy training mats @Adge ? I don't know whether you've seen them, but they are a bit like a paper towel with a moisture-proof backing ..... and I believe they are scented in a way that dogs / cats can pick up and it encourages them to soil there. Then you gradually move the mat to another location, perhaps closer to the litter tray .... but wait till she's ready to go from mat to tray if she is attitudinal ......

My disabled child was my youngest to toilet train. The others all had control issues about it ..... became their problem to still be wearing nappies after their peers were in underwear and they made the switch when they were ready to. Your cat is sounding like that .....

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope
Good suggestions. I've been told that it's behavioural issues - to get my negative attention, or for some other reason.
She was well trained when I got her, & she always used the litter tray. Bu virtually not at all for many months now.
If I change the entire litter very frequently every few days (which is so hard to keep up with) - she will use it once or twice. Then she won't.
The scratching post helped for a week or two - then she demolished it (ripped it to shreds).

As with a child, try to give her attention when she is behaving well, and coo and make sweet noises around her without giving her eye contact when she's not so good. Hopefully she will learn that negative behaviour meets with matter-of-fact obliviance, but positive behaviour results in treats and full caring attention.

Visted this forum just to look at the countless images of cats - hoping maybe it might cheer me up a bit ❣🐱

@Shaz51

It will definitely be worth the wait for your image to pop up.

Hope you and Mr Shaz are doing well x

@Shaz51

How do you send a photo? Would love to share a photo of my cat also ❣❣

What's his/her name? (photos haven't loaded yet for me)
