I have a 7 year spayed female who was living outside of building and decided to move in with me. She has a kitty door and was always doing her business outside. I have a litter box in the house by the kitty door, where she would urinate. But, I cannot get her to poop in it, so she goes on the carpet and will even go there at night even if her cat door is open. She won't open the cat door herself either. I have to tie it open for her, as she is afraid of it. I tried leaving it untied for a week and she never tried to use it once, even though I showed her how it opens. Also, the neighbor cat feels free to come inside, eat her food and make himself at home in my bedroom and even marks places all over my apartment. I am so fed up with it all. I won't consider getting rid of my cat, as I love her to pieces. Please help!! Oh, and now she is even peeing on the carpet at times - stills uses the box, too, though.
