My cat name is Spooky and she is 6 months old, I had her since she was born (I took in the mom in when she was pregnant). The mom cat only gave birth to one child which I found surprising.
Disclaimer: I made sure there were no more babies inside of her. I also made sure to check for deceased/eaten kittens. Everything was fine, she just gave birth to only one kitten.
Just like I’ve done with other kittens in the past, I taught them how to use the litter box. Spooky is the only one I can’t potty train. For the past months, she’s been peeing and pooping outside the box. It’s getting to the point where she is ruining my furniture, floor tiles and clothes. The only time she would use the litter box is when I put her inside the box and stand there to make sure she doesn’t get come out. I’ve tried locking her in the bathroom with the litter box and instead she pees and poops in my tub. I keep the box clean and I’ve tried different types of litters. I even tried different boxes! I have 3 total and nothing is stopping her from doing it. I had to throw away some of my clothes and my son’s clothes because she will scavenge for clothing material in my closet or the dirty bin to cover up her tracks. I have to throw out my black couch that didn’t last a year because she’s pooped and peed on it too many times. At this point, the maintenance is not even worth. I also have to replace some of the tiles on the floor and wooden cabinets. I went to get her checked out & was told everything is fine and she’s doing this because she’s young. However, I disagree. I’m wondering if her behavior has something to do with the parents being brother and sister? I was told the father is the mother’s brother. Maybe she’s mentally declined? I don’t know, but sorry if I’m coming off mean. I’m just entirely frustrated. She has used the box maybe 3-4 times since she’s been here.
