"I actually have resorted to using diapers on my geriatric foster animals a few times. It is a pain and you have to be sure to change them often to keep the animal clean, but its much better than most alternatives."

Really? Did they leave them on? That's a thought.

So, re-examine the situation. If necessary, rehome her. BUT, remember, to her, she isn't doing something wrong. There is a reason, you just don't know it.

I'm pretty sure I do know why she's doing it. Remember she had a bad urinary tract and anal gland infection? That was when the problem started. I think she left her scent on the sofas and then when her physical problem was cured she thought that was where she was supposed to go. She'll literally hold it until she can get to the sofa sometimes. I think she's trained herself to use it.

What do you think?

By the way, she's in Max's crate now. Happy as a clam. His crate is HUGE. I'm going to just put her food and water and litterbox and a little bed in there, and let her out only when he eats and when I can watch her.

Oh now she's meowing - better let her out for a bit.

Thanks for listening to me vent. How many times have I said "That's it" or "Last chance"?
