New Chapter in the Pooping Kitty Saga

Tweet

As many of you know, my wonderful cat has recently been gifting me little "presents" on my bed. Not only do I not appreciate her gifts, but the smell makes me very ill. Yesterday, a very large drop cloth arrived. My cat has taken over the box (of course). She slept on it most of today. The drop cloth, even folded in half, covers my whole bed. It's made of canvas (which makes me want to grab some paint and decorate!). My cat walked all over it last night, unsure of what this was all about. But during the night, I noticed her curled up on it, so I guess she's accepted it as a new covering. The bedroom door has been open all day. She was in there sleeping at one point, but I have a window open in there and it's a little chilly. She's now sleeping on my rocking chair. And so far (knock on wood), there are no little presents on the bed. And she's been using her litter box. Yesterday, I had the bedroom door closed most of the day and there were no accidents anywhere else. She cried for the bedroom for a little while but eventually stopped. She used her box and behaved herself everywhere else. So, here's hoping we're on to a nicer relationship. She's still pretty anxious. She could be sleeping but if someone even walks past our apartment door, she picks her head up and stares at the door as if the boogieman himself is going to crash through at any second. Well, one step at a time. Hopefully those drops should be here tomorrow and we'll see if those can help calm her down. -Claudia-
