A feral cat I took in almost 2 years ago won't pee in the litter boxes. Has been medically declared perfect by the vet.
I have 5 cats, the 5th is a little old spayed feral that I've been caring for outside for 10 years - I took her into my house 2 years ago. She is 99% deaf and wasn't thriving outside anymore so she became my 5th indoor only cat (none of my cats go outside ever). She fits into the house perfect except she will not pee in the litter boxes. She absolutely adores all my other cats and they love her. I have 6 litter boxes (a box in every room) and they are cleaned about 3 times a day every day (every time I walk past).
She does nothing but purr all day long, loves to sit in your arms, next to you, sleep with you, lets us clip her nails, clean her eyes, etc. She just won't pee in the litter boxes. She finds a quiet place away from the common areas of the house, and just pees - just like she did outside for 10 years.
She seems to understand the concept of the litter box because she poops inside the litter box every time for 2 years. Just wont pee there unless we lock her in a small room with nothing but a litter box, then she will use it (no where else to go). Sadly, we cannot keep her locked in that room full time. We have removed all rugs/carpets and now she is peeing on the hardwood floors.
I have multiple different styles of litter box (tall, short, enclosed, open, etc). They are all extra large size, 2 are double extra large.
We love this cat, wanted to give her a happy life after a hard outside life for 10 years. But we cant continue like this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. She cannot go back outside due to her hearing issues, so we are out of options.
She's the little grey one. Her name is Stripe.
