We didn't have a cat before my mother came to visit. On her first day here she adopted a stray... which meant that we adopted a stray. It seemed like it must have had a home but lacked a collar, isn't fixed and wouldn't leave the area around our house.
It's really a good cat - unlike the vicious, slime-covered hell-beast we left in Massachusetts. It's friendly, doesn't pay any attention to wires and is generally affectionate. We've the basic training issues (stay of the table, don't drink out of my cup, etc). BUT... the cat isn't very good the litter box. He does seem to pick his alternates well (he's crapped in the bathroom sink and the bathtub and we caught him pissing in our downstairs sink once) but we're afraid that he's going to find (if he hasn't already) some little traveled corner and make himself a habit. We've also noticed that he doesn't bury in the litter (so it tends to stink more than we'd like). Any suggestions for getting a cat to use the litter box (and only the litter box)? My wife seems to think that the cat doesn't like his own stink and won't go when the box is dirty. She's going to pick up one of those "automatic scooping" boxes and see if that helps. Any other ideas? Thanks.
