Re: "missing" the litter tray


She's 12 and some of it is stress at being in a new home but unfortunately she has a few little issues as well which make it harder to tell what is "new home" stress and what is stress at a certain circumstance.

She had been in a private home since kitten in 1994 and then they had to rehome her due to an allergy in the family. They tried this privately and it didn't work out and caused Pousse a lot of stress and she reacted badly (although IMO fairly "normally" for a cat moving home after 12 years) hiding and refusing all food so they brought her home and then placed her in the cat rescue where she had been a month when I picked her.

So the last few months have been traumatic and I'm trying to keep her routine as close to her former one as possible. I'll try the covered litter tray and put some of her old litter in there to encourage her to use it

Will let you all know how she does

Re: "missing" the litter tray


Well touch wood all is going ok - she still makes a massive production of digging and covering her "parcels" but the covered tray keeps it all in

Much easier for me with my arthritis as well as I don't have to sweep the surrounding area clean of litter every time she goes

She must be settling as I am gradually changing things and she is adapting fine
