Here's another off the wall suggestion... If the litter box Lucy is
using is in the bathroom, you might try it. I want you to know, I
wouldn't share this with anyone other than those on this list... I find
that my kitties use the litter box after a) I've just cleaned it,
(sometimes while I'm cleaning it), and b) when I'm going to the bathroom
myself! I don't know if it's because I'm their surrogate mom, (I've had
them since they were only 2 1/2 weeks old), or it's just some sort of
natural comaraderie thing. I can just hear everyone thanking me for the
visual!
