Thanks for the replies. Yes I did change them off of what the breeder was using when I got them. The boy took right to it, but she is still having difficulty. I have picked up a few kinds of no spray, no mark items and have been spraying it in her favorite spots. Also, lysol seems to be a big deterant for her....but because it isnt natural I don't want to keep spraying it near them. I just have to keep trying to catch her at it and reward her for going in the box til she finally gets it I guess.

Oh there is no way I can put the litterbox near where she is peeing, it is right near the swamp cooler and it would just spread the smell of kitty all over my small apartment.

Hiya!
I had a similar problem when I hadone of my bengal girls. She did the solids in the tray mostly, but not the urine! So in the spots where she went, I cleaned thoroughly with a gentle cleaning product, then used a repellant (you can get these at the pet shop to spray for kittens and puppies). The smell usually stops them going to that place. But you may need to apply several times, depending on if she has been there several times. Secondly, I loked at different cat litters, and did some research. Indoor cats, and particularly kittens can dislike the 'feel' of a litter on their feet. It may be too hard so they wont use it I use a white chalky one now, available from catsan. She really took to it, but it took a bit of persistency. We also used a small amount of repellant in the tray initially. It was an uphill struggle but she is fine now. Do you have only one cat?

I have two bengals who live indoors. We have two trays. But for one cat I think your one large tray is enough.

Good luck with it anyway,

Julie

thanks for the advice. I actually have 2 at the moment. A boy and a girl. I am heading to the petstore today to see if I can find something they will like as litter is concerned. As for getting 2 boxes there is no way, the house is just too small and I have no room for a second box. It is a struggle for us both I guess, but they will have to learn.
