Ok, i'm sorry but i'm really excited and am hoping this isn't short lived. I was so stressed because my sweetie pie
(Shiraz) finally pooped in a litter box. I posted before, in the behavior forum, about how she was pooping outside of her litterbox every day because she's been couped up in my room because she will attack my roommate's cat and dog and we havent figured out a way of getting them to like eachother yet.
but yesterday i put another litterbox in my room, uncovered and with clumping litter instead of clay. when i first got her, she was going in the covered box with the clay litter but then started just pooping outside it and i thought she just got fed up with being in my room and me not being in there all the time. she peed in it, just didnt poop. so i put the new one in (and left the other one) last night and i left the room (usually when she takes the chance to poop on the carpet) and i came back and she had pooped in it.
i just about threw her a party.
i'm hoping it's not because it's something new and i come home to a present tonight. but hopefully maybe she just likes it. i'll be sure to update and tell you if she does. i have a feeling she still might leave me presents on the carpet because i think it still might be behavioral, but i'm crossing my fingers that it's not!!! thanks, just needed to vent, ha.
