boxes? Maybe she doesn't like the feel of litter. When I was a student
and didn't have much koney, I used to shred newspapers for Frank's and
Nikki's boxes. It's a bit messier than litter, and you have to clean
the boxes at least twice a day, or even more often. But maybe it would
be worth a try? Or maybe just put a newspaper on the bottom of the box,
if you don't feel like shredding one (I used to shred enough for one
day in about an hour, sitting in front of the TV :) ).
If she liked newspaper, you could even try a layer on top of litter.
Good ideas! I don't get newspapers though, and I'd be worried about
the ink, but I'll have to consider other types of litter. She just
peed today in another empty litterbox I set up yesterday. Another
difference with the empty litterboxes is that they don't have "lips"
on them... But Dot's used lipped litterboxes before.
Today's newspaper inks are mostly soy-based and biodegradable. That was one of the main things when 'recycling' came around. Since used newspaper sent for recycling is used to make more newspaper (among other things, such as egg cartons), the ink must be "washable" as well.
Do you know whether Dot was ever an outside kitty that was perhaps used to only eliminating in soil (earth)? Just a thought. I've used soil, gradually changing to litter to get KFC to use a box when she started to forget to go outside. I used soil in a box for Boyfie the one time he had to stay inside overnight, before his snip. He held out and held out even so, but just before our appointment at the vets he just *had* to go. This was a mega-two-minute pee. I really felt for him as I know he does not believe that it's okay for him to *go* inside the house. Ever. He must have been absolutely bursting.
You know, also around the time I let Buster mingle more with Dot, I
started using a different litter. Actually, it was the same litter,
but the manufacturer changed the formula and consistency.

Poor Boyfie - bursting at the seams!
Mimi wishes her Sweet Boyfie well.
