Right I have placed another litter tray in the room - which Archie has used instantly!

Also how do you clean your litter trays, we change the litter twice a day and then clean it fully one a week. Should I be doing anything different for Cleo?

What do you mean by change? I assume its non clumping?

Have you tried different types of litter, maybe a different type in each box. It might be good if Archie doesnt like one and leaves it clear for others...

I use a clumping litter and remove poos and wees as and when I see them immediately. I change the tray when it gets any poo or wee on the sides (though I don't throw away clean litter, ever....) and so far thats worked fine for my two boys.

This!!! I hadn't thought of this before---maybe a different kind of litter will excite her but Archie won't like it.

Yes we do but refill new Mornings and on return from work.

Right. I got up this morning and each of the litter trays had a poo in, which means either Cleo used it or Archie is VERY busy! She had done a wee on the carpet so that makes me think she is just a very fussy cat. There is no way I am getting up in the middle of the night to clean the trays. So I have been out and bought ANOTHER tray! I did listen to your comments and thought investing in one might be worth it(well no point asking for advice if you are going to ignore it!)

I also got some spray to treay the urine and poop smells and a new feliway plug in as mine was on the last legs!

So we shall see!

There's a spray called "Wash and Get Off" that cleans and leaves a citronella type smell which is supposed to put cats off peeing in the same place again, I've only used it once but touchwood we've not had any further accidents....

EAC - I've referred back to your original post regarding Cleo and re-read this bit. Is this still happening? Or has Archie eased off a bit? Is he trying to playfight with Cleo the way he does your older cat?

I'm just wondering if she finds this a bit too much just yet given that she has only been with you for 3 weeks, she herself is very young, and that she is still trying to adjust to her new home.

Only a thought....

well yes but she plays a lot with him. They are quite inseperable. Archie is a special needs cat so he does have to be watched!
