Litter training the Diva

Has she ever been wees/poos out in the garden Elaine?

I was just wondering if she does at anytime do her business outside? If so then you could perhaps try soil in the litter tray. Have you thought about trying sand as it's very soft under foot?

Nope, she always comes indoors to do her business. I had toyed with the idea of making a sand pit out there to see if that would help but she doesnt get regular access to the back garden.

That's just what I was thinking Fran!

I use the term "garden" very loosly girls LOL, so there isnt any loose earth out there for her to dig in. That said it may be worth experimenting with earth and sand in the litter boxes. I imagine I would just buy it from a garden centre or something.

I did try fullers earth and she didnt like that. Will try to get to a garden centre on friday and pick up some earth and sand to experiment with. Thanx girls, will let you know how that goes when I get it.

Have you got a back lane or such like Elaine where you could dig up a shovel full of soil to try it out first?

Elaine,

Try compost - its sanitised and thats what we use with the ferals when they first come in and slowly overtime add another type of litter we are now compost free apart from the grenhouse - left an open bag and ground so hard they are now using the greenhouse compost bag as its not frozen yet!

Think the compost sounds worth trying More of a natural, earthy outdoorsy smell to it...wish I could think of anything else,,,have you tried shredded paper?

Not advice - just throwing some thoughts into the mix; take or leave as you wish

The toilet doesn't sound a bad idea - you can get them here now (as opposed to sending to the US. Litter-Kwitter

World's Best Cat Litter is probably that. Might be worth a try?

Good luck
