Guest guest Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Forgive the pet question, but this is really for me. We just adopted an 8 week kitten who is deficating under the bed instead of her litter box in another room. Is there a non-poisonous alternative to disuade her? I hurt my back trying to move the king size bed to shampoo under it the first time it happened. Is there a good smelling herb like lavender or something that would turn her away? I think the problem is affecting my health and it is very unpleasant to say the least. Thank you for any suggestions Athena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Hi Athena, I seem to remember that orange peel is supposed to make them look for an alternative toilet. Biological wash powder is supposed to get rid of the smell, or you may be able to get something from the pet store - if there is any smell remaining the cat will return to where it has already been. I don't think that they mind the smell of lavender too much, so don't bother with that. Val Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 keep the bedroom door closed. keep the kitten confined to an area where her litter box is, with one of those child-proof gates if necessary - like the kitchen, or a bathroom, until she gets used to her box - the kitchen is often good - I keep the litter box there to this day. under a counter, with a lid and always clean. http://PrisonMinistry.net/ckosuda, God bless you, all you love and all you touch with Peace, Prosperity, Perfect Health, Harmony, Humility and Happiness Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 You have to be very careful with essential oils with cats, they are very sensitive to them and can be really hurt by them. I'm sorry I can't suggest anything to discourage her, I don't know that much about cats, but one thing I would suggest is to block off the area you want her to stay out of. Maybe taking her poops from where she is doing them and putting them into the litter pan will give her the idea that that is where they are supposed to be done. I hope this helps some.
