Kitten behaving strangely / not urinating in litter tray
I've had my kitten for a month now; she is just over 4 months. She was fully litter trained before leaving the breeder, using one tray for both functions without problems. But once I got her home she started weeing on my bed. She will sometimes go in the litter tray, and always uses it for number 2s. I remove scents by using biological washing powder, keep her away from the bed, and just bought a 2nd tray which she's yet to willingly use. She has instead picked out another bed and an armchair for her new fave spots. She's a very affectionate kitten who follows us around the house, to the point where she will not often stay in the kitchen to eat by herself if we're in another room. I think she's verging on clingly? She never goes in the wrong place if we're not home, but always when we are home. Before she goes she'll miaow and run about a lot, seems slightly annoyed, and when I catch her squatting I place her in the litter tray, and she'll sometimes accept that, but other times stubbonly run back to where she was. The vet didn't seem to think there were any health problems. I try not to pay her attention when she's bad, and stroke her after she's gone in the correct place. Is there anything else I can do to help her settle in properly? She seems otherwise very happy; a cute little purr-box.
