You are right there are things I just might not be able to see. The stress between the cats is causing more escalations. If this is a territory issue, then what if anything can I do? And lol! Patches is a big cat, so sometimes she accidentally pees out of the box while squatting in the box. She...

It's Thursday, two days after my last post. And just right now... Buddy peed in the hallway right next to the litter box. Patches wasn't blocking her. She was watching her pee on the carpet. I saw patches looking around the corner and then thought buddy must be peeing on the floor , walked...

Things I may have forgotten to mention: Enzyme cleaner is amazing. Yes, I did try feliway, didn't seem to change anything for either cat. Oddly, buddy seems pretty calm about everything when you watch her. Shes stopped being jumpy over every noise, every move. She's honestly a great...

Patches (the og) is a big cat, I've gotten her to drop some weight down to 14lbs. She is a long big cat. She can fit in all three boxes with out a problem and turn. even in the small one, though honestly it's funny to watch her do that. Buddy (newbie with the pee problem) is a whopping 8.75lbs...

Okay, so it's 50/50 sometimes she uses the litter box and we won't have an accident for a few days or even as much as two weeks. She was checked out by the vet, and though she doesn't seem stressed, we put her on a food that has stress medicine in it. The doc said if this didn't work kitty...

A couple of things, I put a box right next to the box, that one was completely clean and she peed in the hallway instead. It could have been that because the boxes where beside each other she couldn't get to them. I have put leaves in a box but then she poops in it and sometimes pees. It's too...

A lot of this is covered in bring buddy the feral inside. https://thecatsite.com/threads/buddy-the-stray-feral-update.334919/ Okay, so to clarify, I went through the whole process of gradually introducing the cats to each other. Buddy acclimate faster than Patches and because of that there was a...

I just don't know what else to do. Out door cat, buddy, has acclimated to living in doors with one exception. She doesn't consistently use the litter box for peeing. (I know she was an outdoor cat for years, but she does so well inside and doesn't want to go back outside. I love her. And my...

Okay, well... I have a new problem. Buddy started hanging out in the cat tree cubby hole. My vet suggested that since the cats were fighting over the cat tree cubby hole that a create a new one. Well a gave Buddy a cardboard box with open doors the same size and shape of the cubby hole. Patches...

@indyjones I really appreciate all of your feedback and your help, you have no idea!

If buddy reacts it's to go back into her crate, but for the most part she ignores it, it seems. I took down the gate this weekend, and I leave the bathroom door open. Buddy doesn't come out of the bathroom unless she is encouraged or there is food. Patches is getting more used to it, but she...

So I have progressed to the point where I can have no cover on the gate and both cats will eat. However that's it so far. I am concerned about moving forward yet because patches keeps actively going over to the door if it isn't shut all the way, pulling it open, pushing the cover out of the...

I was going to wait until the weekend but on a whim I decided to feed them both a little wet food when I got home:

Thank you so much for all your inspiration, advice, and help!

Okay so I figured out WHY she wasn't using the litter box. Buddy is used to dirt, leaves, moss, not litter! So I put some dirt and leaves in the box and ::drum roll:: she used it!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so very excited! Eep!

I had that same thought! Done and done!

Exciting update! Buddy had a #1 and #2 accident about an hour after my last post. I don't ever care right now that she doesn't understand how to use the litter box, I am relieved she isn't blocked!!! I've never been so happy to see urine and poo. Though I am not sure why she doesn't...

At this point I don't care where she uses the bathroom as long as she uses it. I am worried. I don't know if it's a shyness issue, if it's a territory issue, or if it's a side effect of the tape worm and tapeworm medicine. I can only guess she has her outdoor places under some bushes she is...

Me too :/
