My little girl, Emma, is a strange kitty. I am having the worst time getting her to use the litter box. We are getting closer, she no longer is going behind the TV, but NEXT to the litter box. Now, if she would just hop in the box, all would be great! It's funny that she won't use the litter box, while her litter mate Jack loves it. As soon as new litter is added, he will go lay down in the box, lol. My porch (where the litter box is) smells pretty bad of cat urine (lovely carpet). It's hard to get the smell out, but what more can I do? I don't want to get rid of her, that is not an option, but I do wish she would realize the litter box is there for a reason!!!
