Its amazing how sensitive they can be.  She may be keeping Sugar from using the box, because Sugar kept her from your lap.  (They are more complicated creatures than we give them credit for.)  OR, she may know from a past observation, that acting out of sorts will net her more of your direct attention, and she may just need you right now.  If Sugar pushed her off your lap, and you welcomed Sugar, she very well may be feeling insecure right now...hence the litter box bed.

Thanks I will try those suggestions, no new changes but she was pushed off my lap during her private time this morning by Sugar who wanted some lovin', and she has not come back. Maybe she is just miffed with me, we will see, but thank you everyone you guys are the BEST ;-))

Cherie,
 
If she's eating or licking the litter, it prob. means she is anemic.  Just laying in the box (and being otherwise healthy) is sometimes a sign of insecurity.  Have there been any new changes lately?  The addition of another pet, a new boyfriend, a new pc. of furniture, even a new carpet  or air deoterizer (sp? sorry) can set them off.  If this is the case, you might want to pick up a cardboard box the same size as the litter box, and sprinkle some catnip in it.....I bet Cleo changes beds then!  Just don't put it in the same room as the litter box...you don't want her mistaking it for another place to relieve herself.
 
Good luck.

Sorry, I'm missing alot of threads...so you may have answered this already...but is Cleo healthy otherwise?  I have a few cats that like to lay on fresh cat litter for some reason...but as long as Cleo isn't trying to eat the litter (which can be a sign of anemia) then you shouldn't have to worry about her...just make sure she's not eating or licking it!

Hello there, I just have a quick question, I am drawing a blank. One of my kitties Cleo is laying in the kitty litter box, I know this means something, I just can not place it.
 
Thanks Cherie
