I have a12 yr old female cat that just lost her playmate of 13 yrs. I got 2 female cats about 7 months old thinking that they would keep her company. I kept them apart for about a week, then let them in the house together. She hisses at them and stays away. They go everywhere in the house so she doesn't have a place to hide that they can't go. 6 weeks later this is still going on and they like her but she doesn't like them. Well 3 days ago she started doing # 1 and #2 on my kitchen rug. I moved her litter box in a room by itself and she was going there. Now on my rug. I think one of the cats have gone in hers because when I took her to it she hisses and runs away. She has gone on my throw rug now 3 days in a row. How can I change this. I cleaned her litter box out and put it back in the room. How do I keep the other cats from using it.
I don't know what to do. Is she getting me back for bring the other cats in. She used her box for the first 6 wks I had the cats, and during that time I think the cats used it too. Should I put her in a room by herself until this stops or or put the other cats back in a room by theirself?
