Non-medical - lots of love and reassurance and cuddles. And find another catsitter the next time you go away (but you know that ). I hope Zoey is all better soon!

Kaydonette,
I'm sorry your going through this. Sorry your kitties didn't get the kind of care they are used to while you were gone.
In future, you might want to look into a pet sitter who comes to your home. Often the techs or other employees at your vets' office do this kind of work on the side.

I would definitely rule out health issues as well as think of tackling this as behavioral.

One thing you'll want to do is get the proper pet elimination odor removal cleaner from a pet supply store. Regular household cleaners will not remove the odor for your cats' nose, and just smelling the odor on the bedding may be enough to keep your kitty going in the wrong place.

Do rule out medical issues first, though. You'd feel awful if you treated it as behavioral and then found out it was a health issue. There are lots of fixes to try if it is behavioral, but that really should come as the second thought after health.

after being home for a little while she is much better!! we now have two litterboxes and we keep the bedroom doors shut!!! she is still lose but i think its because she is still really young and on kitten food.
