Last Thing You Bought?

Another litter box. I saw a post on FB about "The Breeze" and was intrigued. Little Miss Stella has been peeing outside of the box lately. I'm going crazy reading up on possible causes and trying to address every one. She is not attention deprived, not bullied by the other cats from what I can tell. So I made an appointment to make sure she doesn't have a UTI. Joon is still on medication for the next six weeks due to ecoli found in her urine, but it's not supposed to be contagious. But I have to rule out any medical condition for Stella so I can move forward and try to figure out why she is, all of a sudden, not always using the litter box.

I bought three bottles of Nature's Miracle, also. So far I detect no odor and have been calling in non-cat people to make sure it's not just that my nose is used to the smell. Anyway, those are my last purchases...litter box and Nature's Miracle, lol.

It could be the litter itself. Have you been trying different litters to see which one could encourage her to use the box?

Our local shelter recommends Cat Attract litter, either on its own or blended with their usual litter. They also recommend unscented litters, as the fragrance of some litters can actually be harsh on a cat's super sensitive nose. I use non-clay litters for my kittos, since clay litter dust can contribute to respiratory issues as well. Not sure if any of the aforementioned is putting your cat off using the box. A friend of mine just went through this with one of his 3 girls. She ended up having an infection that needed treatment. No amount of cleaning or additional litterboxes was making her use the box, and it never used to be a problem. So the root of your issue could be something much more simple.
 
I've been using the same litter forever and she's never had a problem with it. This is something new with her. But I am trying a clumping litter now in two of the boxes so that she can decide which she likes better. Right now, she is using the box with the clumping and is actually "spraying" in it...maybe claiming it as her own. I taped a wee wee pad to the wall because although the sides on the box are pretty high, she is still hitting the wall. So the pad is doing the trick for now. It's not ideal, but until she gets the urine test on Monday, if this helps her not to pee on the bed, I'm happy. So far we are going on 42 hours of no peeing outside of the litter box.

I love Yesterday's News and the cats have been fine with it. I never use scented litter because I hate the smell, myself. I'm kind of hoping it is an infection. It will be a lot easier to treat that then some behavioral issue.

Daiya cheddar shreds and slices, mozzarella shreds and pepper jack shreds. All were a buck off per package.
2 containers of Earth Balance soy-free spread, as it was on sale as well.

I did NOT want to cook today, but didn't have anything to eat.... recipe from Cook-Fest was for 3-4 servings, all gone, & I've had potatoes 4 nights in a row... have enough produce & canned goods to make pasta sauce, just no pasta....

I bought a Simple Truth Organic Roasted Vegetable Pizza (for tonight, on which I'll put the unused minced mushrooms, onions, & red bell pepper from yesterday), a box of veggie rotini (only 75 cents with my digital coupon!), and two cucumbers (gotta make those low-sodium refrigerator pickles with that fresh dill!), and an extra onion (in case I run out making pasta sauce or pickles. LOL)
 
Well, I broke down & bought eight pickling cucumbers. :rolleyes: I just want these to turn out right. Gonna let Jer have one o' the regular ones & my last four potatoes 'cuz I don't think he has any people food in the house, just pet food & treats. LOL

Also got another pizza for din-din (I didn't get very far in the pasta sauce-making today, lmao), a jar of unsalted peanuts, some no-salt potato chips, a can of low-sodium organic garbanzos, & a six-pack of Heineken.... and I grabbed a bag of carrot/potato Veggie Fries & a box of Good Stuff Cacao at Discount Health Foods.

We got a laser hair removal machine type thing. An expensive purchase but James was interested in laser hair removal anyway & it works out as a saving rather than getting regular waxes (& obviously massively cheaper than paying to get it done professionly.) Plus I am VERY COOL with the idea of being hair-free myself :D :woo:
