Okay, here's my issue.
My 12 year old Himalayan has ALWAYS had problems with carpets.
She's neutered, by the way.
Anyway, when we lived in a house with wall to wall, she urinated almost everywhere, INCLUDING her 3 litter boxes (she never stopped using them as well)
Eventually we moved to a house with wood floors and only a few rugs.. well you may have already guessed that she's urinated on every rug until we reached the point where they are all gone.
She uses the litter box with no problems and she's healthy.
but now we are moving to a new house that has wall to wall carpets almost everywhere and , like our older house, 4 levels as well.
I know already that she's going to be as "confused" as ever by the carpets.. but having her go EVERYWHERE is simply not an option.
ANY help? ideas?
i really do think she simply cannot tell carpet from soil... but understanding isn't presenting a solution.
It's not that she's avoiding the litter... it's that to her, the carpet IS litter.
thanks for any ideas...
