| Jun 19 at 1:09 | comment | added | keshlam | Update: Larger box by itself wasn't sufficient. A box with a door seems to be helping, though I haven't observed her yet to see if it has persuaded her to position better or if it's just catching the mis-aimed spray. Continuing to put down absorbent pad as backup. | |

| Jun 13 at 13:19 | comment | added | Kai | @keshlam My vet has told me that with declawed cats arthritis is even more likely, so it's definitely something to ask about. Another possible thing to try, especially if she is declawed, is to change the litter to something finer. Stepping on coarse litter may hurt her paws more, if it's pain in the paws. | |
| Jun 13 at 1:06 | comment | added | keshlam | I'll consider alternative litterbox. This one is semi self-sifting, and it's what she's used to, but I could offer both and see if she decides the other is easier. | |
| Jun 13 at 1:05 | comment | added | keshlam | She's had some tendonitis all her life -- another reason not to declaw cats -- but arthritis is certainly a possibility. She's still agile and jumping well, but she's missing or pausing to consider a jump a bit more often, so that's definitely worth asking. | |
