We got a kitten, Sophie, yesterday. She is so precious and tiny. We got her from a home not a shelter. If I wasn't already in love with her, I wouldn't have taken her. The people didn't know how old she is (6-8 weeks they think - I am thinking no more than 6 weeks - too young to be away from her mother). They were feeding her human junk food (chips and ice cream). And they didn't know if she was litter box trained. IDIOTS!! We get her home and I show her the litter box and she doesn't care. She doesn't scratch/dig at it. Nothing. So I turn to the internet. I read that 30 minutes after she eats, I should put her in the box. I start doing that. 24 hrs later and nothing. She has been in my sight the whole time so I am not sure if she is sick or if she went someplace else. My friend suggested I rub her tummy with the warm cloth, put her in her box. Nothing. Minutes later she started to scratch the living room rug, I sprayed her with water and I don't know if I scared her or what but she peed on the carpet. I can't handle this again (our old cat would often pee on our bed). I started to cry. I put her nose to the wet spot and then brought her to her box so she would know.
I am going to call the vets and maybe they will have a suggestion. I also thought that I could call our local shelter. They might have some ideas too. But if any of you have ideas, please share. Please!!
