We're still having problems with the elimination outside the box. Sadie is still peeing around the doors although not as much, we do see progress there. Sassy goes from carpet to mat to litter box with no reasons that we can find. Last night both girls pooped in the same box, but I cannot find any pee from Sadie, perhaps it's in the basement, I didn't check that box.
We have noticed two things: one is Sadie is carrying her tail up once in a while. She's NEVER done that before, her tail is always dragging the ground. Our research says a tail up belongs to a confident cat. Sassy is 70% tail up and 30% tail down. Sunday will be the end of the 3rd week for Sadie's meds, so we still have three more weeks. Also, it's the end of the first month for the Feliway, we just put in two new bottles in the two of the diffusers.
Something else we've started - giving treats only when the cats are close together and in our bedroom which has pretty much been Sadie territory since we got her. So, if the cats are within three feet of each other and no hissing or growling, I have two silver bowls I keep on my dresser with a big bag of treats and I put treats in both bowls and set the bowls in front of the girls. So far, so good.
So, baby steps....
