We did everything that the experts suggest (besides the fact that this isn't our firs cat).... We kept her in a "safe room" at first to let her adjust to the environment and the litter. For the first two days she didn't use the litter at all. Then it seemed she was doing good. So we let her explore. After the first two weeks she was comfortable in her surroundings and seemed to be using the litter. But then she stopped. Once she pooped on the bathroom counter, twice in the bathtub, and somehow she found a way to get under my kitchen cabinets and pooped there too. Needless to say I vigorously cleaned everything down with 409 Orange Cleaner. It's been close to a month or so now that we've had her and I'm growing attached, but I just can't take these repeated accidents. I've even changed the litter to see if that was the problem but she still continues to go everywhere else. Even putting her in the room with the litter after she eats doesn't work. She will go right on the side of the litter box instead of in it.
