I'm hoping someone might have a suggestion for this. We have 2 female spayed cats, Mau Mau and Emma who share the same litter box. We've had Emma for about 4 years now and Mau for about 8 years with no litter problems, other than Emma sometimes forgets how long she is, even w/a jumbo litter box. About 1 1/2 mo ago I invested in an automatic litter box. Since Emma is an extremely nervous/skittish cat, I put the new box in and left it off for over a week, so she could adjust, figuring she'd follow Mau's example, which is exactly what happened. Again no problems. I turned it on and we went for about 3 weeks without any problems, both cats using it. About a week ago I came home from work and found 1 of them had pee'd in my laundry basket and pood just in front of the litter box. I'm 99.9% certain this was Emma as Mau would absolutely never go outside the litter box, it's to undignified and she absolutley loves the new litter box, she'll come running when it goes off just to watch. My thought was Emma had walked in after Mau went and been in there when it went off and freaked out. So I turned it off again for another week, and again no problems. This past Friday I turned it back on and no problems until this morning. When I got up I found pee in my laundry again (this time clean... ) but she'd just pood in the litter box so I have no idea what to make of it. She healthy, eating, drinking, using the restroom normally. I thought it was she was scared, but it can't be that since she pood in it. So now I'm stuck...
