My cat has stopped using her litter box. I had two cats, one got out and we have not found it yet. The other one has stopped using her litter box -- she pees and dirties any place she decides to -- her favorite peeing spot is a sling chair which is washable, her dirty spot is in the bathroom, the rug or the tub or the laundry room if the door is left open. I don't know why she is doing this. Should I move the litter box and see if she will start using it again?

Is your kitty spayed? How old is she? Did she start this after you lost the other cat or before?

Reply to Lori's Post: She is spayed and declawed. She is about 8 years old, maybe 7 -- I can't remember the year she was born. She started after the other cat went missing. I think she misses the other cat, but would that cause a change in her litter box behavior?
